Young Breitbart editor Ben Shapiro wipes Piers Morgan's ass with the Constitution. :59:
MORGAN: -- An average civilian ... Why do they need [an AR15]?
SHAPIRO: To protect against the possibility of eventual government tyranny. This was the purpose of the second amendment originally. It remains the purpose of the second amendment now, and pretending that governments have never gone userpatious before from a democratic position --
MORGAN: Do you believe your own government is going to turn on you In a way that you require an AR-15 to challenge them?
SHAPIRO: It may not turn on me. It may not turn on my children
MORGAN: -- in modern day America, is that what you think?
SHAPIRO: They may not turn on me, they may not turn on my children. But the fact is this; history is replete with democracies going tyrannical. It happened in France in the 19th century, in Spain in the last century, happened in Germany, in Italy. It has happened repeatedly, it has happened in Japan --
MORGAN: So the reason we cannot remove assault weapons is because of the threat of your own government turning on you in a tyrannical way.
SHAPIRO: Yes.
MORGAN: That is your position?
SHAPIRO: It is because there are countervailing rights and responsibility -- Piers, I don't understand why you can't -- why can't we agree about reasonable law. You just want to demagogue the issue.
MORGAN: You have made your point crystal clear. People aren't stupid, They can make up their own minds. Ben Shapiro, thank you.
