Earlier today we told you how Marjory Stoneman Douglas student activist Kyle Kashuv got into it with Piers Morgan over gun control…
Ouch! Kyle Kashuv's NOT having any of Piers Morgan's gun control spin https://t.co/X6mdLacobu

…Well, the back-and-forth continued between the two with Piers Morgan getting schooled by Kyle on the true intent of the 2nd Amendment.
Have a read:
2A was about arming people as part of a well regulated militia – not as a bunch of unregulated Rambos. https://t.co/tyhVghImBp

So you don't bother to read federalist papers? Not your thing? https://t.co/SOO7nKgRsh

Have you studied the history of 2A? Try reading up on it. It was never intended to mean an individual’s right to bear arms – outside of a ‘well regulated militia’. https://t.co/Xb6w9gGAbd

Now for the takedown:
That's completely and totally not true. You should try and read Federalist 46. Also, see SCOTUS ruling in Caetano and Heller. https://t.co/82APV1zcWI

Lots of other conservatives jumped all over Piers as well:
Hmmm. Let's see, Justice Scalia or @piersmorgan?
Hey Piers, can you tell me more about how in your country people are being imprisoned for saying things?
The fact that you're allowing that to happen, and have no choice since you're disarmed, makes me want to keep my guns https://t.co/3Vkn69Q8DZ

Fact Check: False.
You should try reading up on the Federalist Papers. https://t.co/OzmpP4Klxb

The point of the 2nd amend was to provide defense to citizens against a tyrannical standing army… so why would the Founders give the same govt that controlled the army power to control individuals' right to bear arms to defend themselves against such a govt? https://t.co/zzGVfpyZ3P

Give it up, Piers.
