Next thing I’m going over to Britain, getting a talk show, and I’ll tell the Brits how their laws should be interpreted. That should go over very well.

Delete the rest of the words in that headline starting with “debating” and you’ve got it.

Piers Morgan debating the US Constitution is like me debating whether Ghegs or Tosks were more influential in the development of Albania

NOTE: Piers Morgan is the same guy the owner of Fox News used to run one of their British owned papers....the one closed down for their eavesdropping and recording of people illegally

Piers Morgan is more than welcome to try and take my guns away....dare him to

What really took the cake is when the blowhard and Alan Dershowitz decided to take on John Lott - by personal defamation and not letting him answer questions:

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/piers-morgan-and-alan-dershowitz-get-in-heated-argument-with-anti-gun-control-advocate/

In my estimation this exchange irrevocably sealed Piers Morgan's fate as the media's reigning weak-kneed, intellectually inferior, posturing jive-ass stilton eating douchebag europimp.

It’s cute he thought he could win that.

It’d be like me debating the Queen’s knickers.

“Why do the British worry so much about our laws? “

Exactly. Morgan is incapable of understanding the 2A.

I cringe when I see this PIERS on the TV at the health club, which is for some reason hardwired to CNN, like the airports of the world. He has no depth of thought, no nothing really.

Ten years ago it was CNN would have disappeared completely if not for airports and breakfast nooks in hotels.

Most of the hotels where I have stayed the last couple of years have switched to FOX. I suspect some airports have, as well, but I drive rather than fly if my destination is within...say...a thousand miles. These days airports are like hospitals i.e. necessary...I guess...but I will avoid them when I can.

Piers, just like most people must have never read the 2nd Amendment....

Most of the arguments about the Second Amendment made by both sides revolve around a single assumption - that the Second Amendment grants a citizen the right to bear arms. What both sides fail to understand is that the Second Amendment grants no such right, in fact, the Constitution grants no rights at all!

What the Constitution does do is identify what powers the people grant to the government. This is the whole purpose of the Constitution - to tell the government what it can and cannot do.

That is why Marxists Democrats like Obama hate our Constitution because it is a limitation on Government not a limitation on We The People.....

Read the Second Amendment closely, it doesn’t say the people have a right to bear arms but rather that the
government cannot infringe on that right.

I don’t know about you, but I sure as hell don’t want to live in a country where the only ones with guns is the government.

Amendment II

A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

Thet’s it, that is the whole 2nd Amendment...where does it say that the government gives us any right? It doesn’t, it only says that the government cannot infringe on our rights.

The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.
~ Thomas Jefferson

“The beauty of the Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it”...
~ Thomas Jefferson

A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.
~ Edward Abbey

No free man shall ever be deprived the use of arms .
~ Thomas Jefferson

Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals- that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government- that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen’s protection against the government. — Ayn Rand

Piers is actually a joke in the UK. The only reason he got the job was because his accent gives him... gravitas. But seriously, over seas he's just a hack talent show judge.

“Exactly. Morgan is incapable of understanding the 2A.”

No surprise, he was born a subject and has the mentality of one. He cannot be expected to understand the thinking of free men.

The ones by TJ for sure. I’m pretty sure the Abbey quote is bogus too. A little checking is in order from time to time.

So many quotes just get collected and copied and pasted that they take on lives of their own. Folks make up a great quote, and to give it cred, they assign it to a founding father. Then the bogus quotes are copied over and over.

I almost used what turned out to be a bogus quote on treason supposedly by Cicero in one of my books, but I checked and it was bogus. You have to go to primary sources like this UVA site to sort out the wheat from the chaff. Somebody even sent me his new novel, and it had bogus TJ quotes sprinkled throughout. Yikes.

That's EXACTLY how to argue with a lib - especially in a public forum. Chop the legs out from under their strawman.

Libs always start their assertion with an authoritative strawman stated as a fact, then they build on that while ridiculing other contradictory information.

Undercut AND ridicule their base assertion, and not only does their argument fall apart, but it undermines their entire philosophy.
