Actually, yes. And that someone is none other than Piers “Musket” Morgan.
When it comes to the gun debate, Morgan should know better than to square off against Dana Loesch.
Will he ever learn? For entertainment’s sake, we sincerely hope not!
Wow. Just played audio of @piersmorgan claiming that 100k people are shot every year in America. Absolute, complete, total lie.

Let's just make up numbers now. "Did you know? 100 eleventy frillion thousand people are shot by guns every year!"
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 10, 2013
Let's pretend that it doesn't take a three second Google search to pull up a decade of FBI UCR to completely blow that out of the water.

Purposeful conflation.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 10, 2013
No distinction between homicides, legal intervention, suicides, it's just a figure used to scare people.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 10, 2013
All the while the documented fact that there exist 2.1 million cases annually of guns used to save lives goes ignored.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 10, 2013
(Click here for more on that statistic.)
The same as conflating legal and illegal immigrants as one number to represent either or for a purpose. Disingenuous and lazy.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 10, 2013
No @DLoesch – it's a fact. 100,000 people are hit by gunfire every year in America. No surprise to discover you don't know this.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 10, 2013
No surprise to discover that you have to inflate the number with suicide and legal intervention to pass off as homicide total, @piersmorgan
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 10, 2013
Here's a Q you never answered, @piersmorgan : why do you never address the 2.1 cases of guns used to save lives annually?
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 10, 2013
Gunsmith called in: there already exists a registry, gov't just wants digital registry and heirloom transfers. Total control.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 10, 2013
@DLoesch are you going to apologise for calling me a liar?
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 10, 2013
Apparently @piersmorgan you forget you called me a liar for having an opinion on our last discourse. So no.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 10, 2013
But, @piersmorgan you are lying by presenting total gun deaths — even legal intervention and defense — as total homicide. No disclosure.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 10, 2013
Using gun deaths from legal intervention as total # to justify ban on guns is using innocents protecting lives w guns as reason to ban them
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) April 10, 2013
@DLoesch I never said homocide, please stop lying Dana. I said 100,000 get shot a year, 30,000 get killed. These are facts.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 10, 2013
GIBBERISH > RT @DLoesch @piersmorgan Why won't you acknowledge that more exponentially lives are saved than lost by guns? These are facts.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 10, 2013
But, well, facts are hard. Fortunately, when it comes to ol’ Musket, mockery is easy:

Heh.
You know, as thick as Morgan is, he’s still handy to have around to illustrate important points:
I've yet to meet an informed gun grabber.
