Piers Morgan took issue with a Twitchy story yesterday about his reaction to threats made to Dana Loesch:
DESPICABLE: Piers Morgan victim-blames Dana Loesch for her rape and death threats https://t.co/mwHnqqriJm

Dana Loesch is not a 'victim'. She's the @NRA poster girl when that vile, deadly organisation has never wielded more power. https://t.co/YkHzzhteF6
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) October 20, 2017
A point was raised:
@DLoesch isn't a victim because she's trained to take out threats to her and her family. She's empowered through her gun ownership/education

Morgan responded this way:
Guns don't 'empower' civilians, they kill them. https://t.co/zOWTS2B7fH

Er, really?

Does Piers see what happened there? Maybe, maybe not.
Sure empowered a whole lot of citizens against your crown, Musket https://t.co/frd0hm3LHd

Ask the 13 colonies about that, Piers. https://t.co/K8VNPMmsjF

There were multiple levels of “fail” in Morgan’s tweet:

@piersmorgan I’ll buy your argument when the courts try and convict guns, rather than shooters, for murder.

I am no longer afraid to be in my home alone because I know how to handle firearms, and I always have one with me.
I'm not going back. ??

And then there’s the lefty hypocrisy factor:
Does hired armed security "empower" the wealthy who can afford it? I cannot and will keep my guns for my own protection. FO Piers! https://t.co/k6jP8ww4uk

Please note that Piers has armed civilians called “bodyguards” who empower him to be a raging loon. https://t.co/sQ6Nuuw2ko

The Left has one set of rules for themselves and another for everybody else.
