Just to clarify @benshapiro - you want an AR-15 to defend yourself against the entire US Marine Corps when they attack you? #Tyranny

Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) January 11, 2013Just to clarify, is Piers Morgan getting slower, or are his replies just that much more well thought-out? “Musket” Morgan took his share of ridicule in early December, when he took a leisurely 18 hours to respond to “gun-toting heroine” Carol Roth. You just can’t rush that sort of brilliance.
Apparently @piersmorgan is on a 17-hour delay, because he's questioning @benshapiro again … twitter.com/piersmorgan/st…—

Tonight, nearly 24 hours after suffering a brutal on-air smack down from “Bullies” author Ben Shapiro, Morgan finally crafted the perfect comeback to Shapiro’s point about guns being a defense against tyranny. We’re guessing Morgan didn’t spend all that time reading the “little book” Shapiro handed him.
.@piersmorgan's comebacks at @benshapiro on Twitter 24 hours after getting his ass kicked reminds me of the "Jerk Store" episode of Seinfeld—

#JerkStore MT @piersmorgan Just to clarify @benshapiro – you want an AR-15 to defend yourself against the entire US Marine Corps?—

The Jerk Store called… MT @piersmorgan: @benshapiro – you want an AR-15 to defend against the US Marine Corps when they attack you?—

Hah! Hey Piers, the Jerk Store called … President Obama‘s wondering where you are.
@jtLOL @piersmorgan @benshapiro he wants a do-over.—
Jeremy Avery (@therealjavery) January 11, 2013
No do-overs. Morgan had his chance to question Shapiro last night, in person, on the air.
@piersmorgan Awful gutsy now that you're not sitting across the table getting your butt handed to you, aren'tcha? #idiot @benshapiro—

@piersmorgan @benshapiro 20/20 hindsight, Morgan. Why didn't you pop off like a wiseass last night instead of being a blithering idiot?—
Blake Driver (@blake6900) January 11, 2013
@piersmorgan not sure if you've read the little book yet. Did you get to the part about Sudafed?—

@gopfirecracker @piersmorgan @benshapiro funny how he takes cheap shots later. #owned—

@piersmorgan @benshapiro is your only approach to keep asking the same question piers? #losingtheargument—
rich tyson (@richtysonROC) January 11, 2013
OK, we’ll give Morgan a do-over, at least on Twitter. So, in his new scenario, Shapiro alone will be defending himself against the entire U.S. Marine Corps.
@piersmorgan That is so asinine – you are assuming a full on assault rather than an attempt at occupation and control. (p1) @benshapiro—

@piersmorgan @benshapiro An attack won't come from the military. It'll come from branches within the executive. Remember the Brownshirts?—
Trevor Miller (@Tmiller84088) January 11, 2013
@piersmorgan @benshapiro no no Piers, it will be Ben, myself and everyone else who defends the constitution against all who come against it—
Michael Hatfield (@Greatrepublican) January 11, 2013
@piersmorgan Yes, because the principle of an armed citizenry is limited to a single individual. #FailLess, piers. @benshapiro—
Nathan Duffy (@TheIllegit) January 11, 2013
@piersmorgan 2nd amendment has no clause "right to bear arms IF AND ONLY IF you have a good chance against tyranny." Buffoon. @benshapiro—
Nathan Duffy (@TheIllegit) January 11, 2013
@piersmorgan @benshapiro Your assuming the entire force would comply with a tyrant. Stop whining you lost your argument admit it like a man—
Hal (@alikhatib2000) January 11, 2013
@piersmorgan @benshapiro The US army swears to defend and support the US Constitution. Most would refuse to take the side of a tyrant.—
Billy Maguire (@Bootless92) January 11, 2013
@piersmorgan @benshapiro it won't be 'you'. It will be us. Thousand and thousands of good people that are armed.—
David Landsteiner (@deltalima21) January 11, 2013
@piersmorgan @benshapiro It doesn't matter why he wants 1. According to Constitution he has the right to have one if he passes the check.—
Greg Sanders (@tide_fan567) January 11, 2013
@piersmorgan @benshapiro wonderfully ironic that a British guy is downplaying tyranny to an American. #HistoryRepeatsItself—
conor (@realdcm) January 11, 2013
If you think @piersmorgan that Marines would attack citizens, YOU are an example of why we need firearms. @benshapiro—
RebelPundit (@NoChromeHD) January 11, 2013
@piersmorgan Most military people I know, and I know a lot, would be the first to stand against tyranny. @benshapiro—
Austin Paul (@AustinPaul19) January 11, 2013
And just FYI @piersmorgan, there are 90 million armed American citizens. There are only 1.4 million active duty military and 1.4 reserve.—
Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) January 12, 2013
Morgan’s Twitter feed has lit up over the last 24 hours, and his TV ratings this week haven’t been that bad, either. Perhaps a big “thank you” to Shapiro is in order.
Good news for @PiersMorgan: More people watched on Thursday than on Monday. Bad news: that's when @BenShapiro was on. tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2013/01/11/cab…—
