Piers Morgan Wants 100 ‘Blind People’ to Fire Guns at Conservative Pundits

CNN’s Piers Morgan has been particularly outraged this week over a new Iowa law that will allow the legally and completely blind to obtain gun permits. “They’re blind! These people are blind,” he exclaimed on show Monday. “I interviewed Stevie Wonder. He said ‘can you imagine I’m allowed to go and buy guns. Can you imagine me with a gun?’ It is utterly ridiculous.” Now, the host has a new idea to combat supporters of the law.

Morgan sent the below tweet to conservative pundits Dana Loesch and Ben Ferguson, who have argued that denying blind people guns violates the 2nd Amendment.

Ferguson was quick to respond, questioning Morgan’s premise, along with his shooting ability.

Loesch used the opportunity to berate Morgan for facts “gun crime stats” on the blind, evidently preferring hard evidence over common sense when it comes to the blind shooting guns.

Or, as Morgan put it in response, “ARM THE BLIND!!!!”
