CNN’s bloviating blowhard rejects the 2nd ammendment, he’s just to coward to say it out loud.
Ironically, the Supreme Court’s pro-slavery ruling in the infamous Dred Scott decision of 1856 enshrined the right bear arms for personal defense as well, when it noted that :
“… affording slaves full rights of American citizenship would include the right “to keep and carry arms wherever they went.”
Fortunately the newly freed slaves, after the passing and the signing of the 13th amendment, had the right to own firearms, thereby protecting themselves and their property from those who would prey upon them.
NOTE: From now on I will take to calling him, ‘Perse’ Morgan. The word is ass in Finnish, and is close enough for me in describing this jerk.
WHY I BROUGHT PIERS MORGAN THAT ‘LITTLE BOOK’
When I appeared on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight to debate gun control on Thursday night, I came armed with a copy of the Constitution of the United States.
I did so for a very simple reason: for too long, the left has been getting away with the lie that they are pro-Second Amendment. Then they proceed to violate the most basic concept of the Second Amendment: that we have a right to keep and bear arms. It is fine to have a rational conversation about how to balance rights with the risk and rewards of particular firearm ownership. But that is not what the left does. They loudly proclaim support for the right to bear arms but then ask, “Why should you be allowed to keep an AR-15 in your home?”
The left pretends it is for the Second Amendment because it recognizes that the American public likes the Second Amendment. But the left has no real defense for the Second Amendment on a philosophical level. They say that they want assault weapons gone, as Piers Morgan does, in order to prevent gun death. But then they say that they’re fine with handgun ownership, which is the instrument used in exponentially more gun death. They can’t explain this mental gymnastics. When I asked Morgan about it, he replied, “We’ll come to that.” He never did.
Here’s the truth. Ideally, the left wants to ban all guns. They just aren’t willing to go there yet, because they know it’s politically unpalatable.
How do we know that? Because that’s what Piers Morgan said the other night with me. First, he claimed he loved the Second Amendment. “I believe and respect an American’s, under the second amendment of the Constitution – that you kindly brought in – to defend themselves with a handgun or a pistol.” But when I explained to Morgan just why the Second Amendment was enshrined into law – in order to prevent the threat of foreign invasion and domestic usurpation – he balked and said that such an argument was absurd.
So he was for the Second Amendment; he just couldn’t explain why.
