Can we get a fact check?
Holster a rifle? RT @piersmorgan: It's 'Bring Your Gun To @Starbucks ' day- holster up your AR-15 and slurp a latte. God bless America!

Lay off the quad espressos and holster that talking point, Musket.

@piersmorgan why/how would you put an AR-15 in a holster?

I holster my AR-15 in front, inside the belt. Little uncomfortable when I sit. But I make it work.— Miyaqi Kun (@hamil7on) August 9, 2013

Indeed they do.
After nearly 24 hours of mockery and desperate Googling, Piers Morgan finally came up with a response to Emily Miller of the Washington Times. (Relevant flashbacks: “Piers Morgan takes 18 hours to craft comeback to ‘gun-toting heroine’” and “Piers Morgan now taking 21 hours to deliver witty rejoinders in gun control debate.”)
Gun nuts like @EmilyMiller keep mocking me for saying you can holster a rifle. What's this, then > http://t.co/7BIoCFxncN

Facts are hard.
@piersmorgan @EmilyMiller That's some sort of stupid novelty item. Trying to claim it proves you point just makes you look more ridiculous.

@piersmorgan @EmilyMiller (ps that's not an ar15)
— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) August 10, 2013
Morgan also shared this link to a post titled “Deplorable Extremely Retarded Rifle Retention Platform (DERRRP)“:
Hey @EmilyMiller – take a look at this, may help you understand more about the guns you love: http://t.co/PSyy8akhz6 #AR15holster
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) August 10, 2013
Heckuva job, Piers. Heckuva job.
Are you really tweeting posts with "retarded" in the title? MT @piersmorgan: Hey @EmilyMiller – take a look at this: http://t.co/0AxeWqCse6
— Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) August 10, 2013
He sure is!
@piersmorgan @EmilyMiller Nobody on the planet has ever used that novelty item to carry an AR-15 into a Starbucks. You are clueless.
— Stephen Gutowski (@StephenGutowski) August 10, 2013
@piersmorgan @EmilyMiller Did you even read the post you just linked to?

@EmilyMiller @piersmorgan Hey Piers, you realize the comments on that crummy blog post find the holster to be stupid right?
— HouseRepEEE (@EEElverhoy) August 10, 2013
@EmilyMiller @piersmorgan One can "holster" an anti-tank missile, that doesn't make it practical, or necessarily mean people commonly do it.

But it’s Emily Miller who’s nuts?
I am pro Second Amendment. That makes me nuts? RT @piersmorgan: Gun nuts like @EmilyMiller mocking me for saying you can holster a rifle.
— Emily Miller (@emilymiller) August 10, 2013
Don’t hold your breath on this one:
Just admit you made a mistake. RT @piersmorgan: Hey @EmilyMiller look at this to understand more about guns you love: http://t.co/8bZHxgr5rD
— Emily Miller (@emilymiller) August 10, 2013
Not only does Miller know a lot more about guns than Musket, but she’s getting a crash course in how to spot epic douchenozzlery.
Poor old @EmilyMiller – tried to lecture me on her beloved guns but doesn't even know you can holster rifles! #Fail

Update:
For the record, cats can also be holstered.
