As Twitchy reported yesterday, a sign at a Florida church triggered Piers Morgan:
This is not a sick joke.
This is America’s response to the recent mass shooting in a church. pic.twitter.com/5lZ77TtvEY— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 19, 2017
Ben Shapiro disagreed:
Seems like a pretty good deterrent tbh https://t.co/4xMHT8TswG

Morgan was hungry to present an analogy he thought was appropriate:
So if one member of the congregation was obese, you'd combat it by giving every other member a Big Mac? https://t.co/8zi7FhPoAN
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) November 20, 2017
And they were off:
This is perhaps the worst analogy I have ever seen. One member’s obesity doesn’t make others obese, nor can that member’s obesity be prevented by others’ Big Macs. https://t.co/vThrGDgUWP

What if they all give their Big Macs to the obese member? To defend himself from obesity? https://t.co/DnogdDrjL6

You seem to be operating under the sunk cost fallacy. Let this analogy go, Piers. It's a complete fail. https://t.co/EmTvrm2ieh

Mate, it’s the perfect analogy: more Big Macs don’t stop obesity just as more guns don’t stop gun deaths. https://t.co/ysxZe78saf

My God, Piers. My God. No, me eating a hamburger can't stop you from getting obese. But me having a gun could stop you from shooting me. https://t.co/LPUhtJVRgq

It doesn’t seem that Morgan’s going to allow himself to be convinced of the flaw in his analogy.
He really is enormously stupid.

This argument proves one thing: @piersmorgan is not safe around hamburgers nor guns since he is incapable of understanding the fundamental principles of how each object works.

The back & forth did have a particular effect:
Now I want a burger.
