U ponedjeljak, Piers Morgan, koji izgleda još uvijek vida rane od svog legendarnog debakla kojeg mu je priuštio Ben Shapiro 2013. godine u debati o kontroli oružja, debakla koji ga je neminovno koštao mjesta voditelja na CNN-u, pokušao je ući u još jednu bitku sa Shapirom na Twitteru, ali ovaj put ne samo u vezi Drugog amandmana, već i samog Ustava. Morganov napad završio je približno istim rezultatom kao i njegov pokušaj iz 2013., nakon što je Shapiro uzvratio paljbom tweetova kao odgovor na Morganove provokacije.
Jednostrani ishod bitke mogao se predvidjeti nakon Morganove ignorantske izjave:
Have you studied the history of 2A? Try reading up on it. It was never intended to mean an individual’s right to bear arms – outside of a ‘well regulated militia’. https://t.co/Xb6w9gGAbd

To je potaknulo ovaj odgovor, pozivajući se na raspravu iz 2013. u kojoj je Shapiro dao Morganu kopiju Ustava, koju je Morgan nazvao “smiješnom malom knjigom”:
Hopefully you kept that “silly little book” @benshapiro gave you on set- it would come in handy now. https://t.co/57DDpLwiz9

Morgan, očito progonjem događajem iz 2013., odlučio je osobno napasti Shapira, koji nije do tog trenutka niti bio uključen u raspravu.
What was silly about it was the size, like its owner.
I prefer my copies of the Constitution, and my political pundits, to be substantial. https://t.co/97EmPjTU7p— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 3, 2018
Shapiro je odgovorio baražnom paljbom tweeteva kako bi pokopao Morgana:
Judge a constitution by its size do you? https://t.co/LokFak6fcF

That is why you fail.

I also like my constitutions like I like my pundits: American and concerned with protecting rights rather than infringing upon them. https://t.co/LokFak6fcF
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) April 3, 2018
I ovo:
Seems like someone’s overcompensating for a rather small…set of inalienable rights. https://t.co/LokFak6fcF
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) April 3, 2018
Slijedi referenca na Morganov pad u nemilost CNN-a nakon što ga je Shapiro “razmontirao” 2013.:
You also preferred for your CNN ratings to be large, but I guess you’re getting used to disappointment https://t.co/LokFak6fcF
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) April 3, 2018
I pošto Morgan očito posjeduje patološku crtu:
Someone seems to be suffering from Constitution envy https://t.co/LokFak6fcF
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) April 3, 2018
Morgan, kako bi se pokušao održati na površini, slabašno odgovara:
Calm down little guy @benshapiro … it’s not my fault you’re so small.
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 3, 2018
Potaknuvši ovo:
No, it's your fault you're such a small person. https://t.co/XgGNd4E9vP
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) April 3, 2018
I ovo:
Though your small intellect is not really in your control.
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) April 3, 2018
Morgan najednom postaje stručnjak za povijest:
It’s ‘unalienable’. Try reading your Declaration of Independence. https://t.co/4Q4qAjBLMp
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 3, 2018
Ovo mu nije prošlo predobro:
I've read it. And its central contention is that we don't have to take advice on the nature of our rights from British douchebags like you. https://t.co/obPF2hcV3y
— Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) April 3, 2018
Morgan, na izmaku snaga, pokušava:
Well no, the final document specifically says ‘unalienable’ not ‘inalienable’. It’s so odd that a stickler for rights like @benshapiro doesn’t know this. https://t.co/LKdzKPFrkx
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) April 3, 2018
Što je izazvalo novi baraž:
So just to be clear, your big argument is that my use of "inalienable rights" (used by Jefferson, and on the Jefferson Memorial) rather than "unalienable" amounts to a full debunking of the Second Amendment? Because, um, that's dumb. https://t.co/AJvUlXT9zw

Or is Barack Obama also ignorant of the proper usage here? pic.twitter.com/FI7elTTzLI

So it turns out you're just as ignorant of the Declaration of Independence and its history as you are of the Constitution.
