Noted Constitutional scholar Piers Morgan thinks that guns are First Amendment right

I guess that means he used his Second Amendment right to make an idiot out of himself. Again.

Piers Morgan still can’t basic details about the gun rights debate right, even after his protracted involvement in the controversy, as he revealed on Tuesday’s CBS This Morning. Morgan incorrectly claimed that the First Amendment – not the Second Amendment – protected the right to keep and bear arms: “I have no problem…with a family exercising their First Amendment (sic) right to defend their families with a handgun at home.”

Morgan then ate paste out of the jar for the rest of the segment, but as the audience had to go pick up her adult daughter from hot yoga, no one noticed.
