Oh, dear. Piers “Musket” Morgan is at it again. The professional ghoul just can’t stop himself from letting his sanctimonious idiocy show.
Sales of the AR-15 assault rifle used at Sandy Hook are rocketing in America since the massacre – this is SENSELESS. #GunControlNow
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 19, 2012
THIS is an AR-15 rifle, as used in America's last 3 mass shootings: http://t.co/Bdfef2S2 – you can buy them in supermarkets.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 19, 2012
Let me repeat: I respect Americans' rights to have a firearm at home for self-defence under 2nd Amendment, or for sport/hunting… mf
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 19, 2012
What I do NOT respect is anyone's 'right' to buy and use one of these weapons to slaughter innocent schoolchildren: http://t.co/Bdfef2S2
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 19, 2012
Twitter users immediately take Morgan to task over his claim that one can buy an AR-15 at a supermarket. Thinking, it’s so hard!

@FirstTeamTommy @piersmorgan Did he happen to drop the name of which supermarket sells AR-15s? I dont think we have that chain in NC.

Of course they will, being fellow ghoulish lapdogs and all. Breitbart.com editor and CNN contributor Dana Loesch, however, won’t let it slide. Fight like a girl? You betcha.
@piersmorgan And the term “assault weapon” is a bogus term. There are autos and semis, all weapons, inclu knives and bats, are “assault.”
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2012
@piersmorgan Actually, the gun used by Lanza was NOT covered as an “assault weapon” by the law: http://t.co/NJyYLdEN
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2012
Loesch has been calling out all the falsities and absurdities being spread by media lapdogs and liberal anti-gun rights zealots.
Nope. Autos are regulated to the point of being banned. I shoot regularly, so unless you do too and are familiar with regs, please don’t.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2012
I’ve asked more than 14 different progressives who’ve written to define “assault weapon.” All 14 sent me same Googled def. I’m not kidding.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2012
Let’s not demonstrate willful ignorance with made up PC buzzwords: there are automatic and semi automatic weapons.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2012
Every weapon, not just a gun, can be an “assault weapon,” a “deadly weapon,” or a “high powered weapon.”
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2012
The selective outrage and absolute ignorance on firearms and gun laws demonstrated by the media is really offensive.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2012
@BobbyBroad Lanza couldn’t purchase. He stole. Gun law worked. Responsibility at home failed.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2012
While I disagree w @piersmorgan on this issue I’d still invite him to learn more at my range & for BBQ after as he’s always been kind to me.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 19, 2012
Truth telling with class? Now, that is empowerment. Other happy warriors join in calling Musket Morgan on the carpet.
Well, @DLoesch, it seems that @piersmorgan is only familiar with batons and whistles #BatonsAreAssaultWeaponsToo

@piersmorgan How many guns shld a person b allowed to have? What kinds? Who decides? and most importantly, HOW WILL THE BANS PROTECT US?
— EJ Haust (@erinhaust) December 19, 2012
Piers can’t answer you. Amendment thingies are hard.
https://twitter.com/adamsbaldwin/status/281426176323502080
dear @piersmorgan: real q: what exactly do you think the 2nd Amnd protects? That is the debate. Saying you respect it is meaningless

Try to count the number of strawmen @piersmorgan destroyed in this tweet. http://t.co/pOoZL821

.@piersmorgan is a poor excuse for a journalist. Which means he's perfect for CNN.

@DLoesch @piersmorgan He's not just wrong, he's a lousy debater. He does a disservice to his own side. Name-calling is WEAK.
— Matt Hanson (@majahanson311) December 19, 2012
@DLoesch @piersmorgan Gun control laws that advance leftie agendas but don't really solve the problem of the criminal are useless.
— Opa D Nil (@Opadnil) December 19, 2012
@DLoesch @piersmorgan Makes no sense to punish innocent gun owners who have never&would never kill anyone, & it doesn't address real issue.
— Opa D Nil (@Opadnil) December 19, 2012
Addressing real issues is too difficult. It’s much easier to toss around nonsense and pretentiously lecture with straw men, right Piers?
We wonder if Piers will take eighteen hours to craft his responses to Ms. Loesch.
