Perennial party-pooper Piers Morgan is still criticizing the Second Amendment, and Wednesday’s Fort Hood shooting provided what he thought was the perfect segue into the issue — but it didn’t turn out quite as perfect as planned.
Losing his soapbox on CNN hasn’t stopped Morgan’s gun-bashing — he just took his business to Twitter, where a couple of lady tweeps — most notably Townhall’s Katie Pavlich — were on hand to chew him up and spit him out. Twitchy was on hand to record all the action.
Just before the witching hour as the rest of the nation grieved over another Fort Hood tragedy, Morgan set fingers to keyboard and hammered out his opening salvo:
'If only there'd been a good guy with a gun…' – such crap. This #FortHood soldier/shooter WAS a good guy. Until he turned bad, with a gun.

Pavlich took note and hammered right back — and she kept on hammering until the former TV news host was thoroughly emasculated:
Oh Piers, you realize the perpetrator killed himself when a woman with a gun confronted him, right? @piersmorgan
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) April 3, 2014
Also, didn't you say in your final show that only military should have guns? How do you square that @piersmorgan?
— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) April 3, 2014
Should we stop giving soldiers guns? Oh wait, already did that. Result? mass shootings in gun free, defenseless military bases @piersmorgan

That’s when Morgan brought up the subject of gun registration — a hot-button issue among Second Amendment advocates, because registration invariably leads to confiscation. He got tag-teamed on that one.
They should, but legally/registered > RT @LillyandPhilly @piersmorgan so the military shouldn't be allowed guns?

Hey guess what? Soldiers are required to register their guns at Ft. Hood. Not shockingly, the perpetrator didn't register his @piersmorgan

@piersmorgan That is already the gun policy at Ft. Hood. pic.twitter.com/H5yTwHkRyw

So take that, Morgan. Next time, you may want to do a little research before opening your mouth.
