Piers Morgan is right every now and then, but he’s almost always WRONG when it comes to any conversation involving guns or the Second Amendment.
As Kimber told you last month, 2017’s Black Friday broke records. It crushed the record for most FBI background checks for gun purchases in a single day. We’re talking approximately 203,086 requests. The previous record was Black Friday 2016– 185,713.
Gosh, I love America. And capitalism. And shopping. ‘Mericans love guns and a good sale. Can I get a witness?
Obviously, Piers Morgan was TRIGGERED.
America’s response to 2 of the worst mass shootings in its history: https://t.co/7T0S7CwzZD

First of all, this wasn’t a direct response to mass shootings. We broke 2015’s record in 2016, 2016 this year, and I fully expect us to break 2017’s Black Friday record next year, regardless of mass shootings.
Americans love the Second Amendment. We know the importance of keeping and bearing arms. Some of us have guns for protection. Others for sport. Others are collectors, and some just buy guns because they can. When I bought my AR-15, I had no plans for it. I just wanted one. I knew it was something I could have forever. If things ever went south, it would be more valuable than money. I like knowing that. I like that I could use it to protect my family or to get some dinner in the “apocalypse.” I like knowing that ME keeping and bearing arms keeps the government in check. I hope I never have to use my gun to protect myself or loved ones from criminals or something crazy like the government, but I like knowing I have the means to do whatever is necessary for survival.
It’s my right, Piers. We’re a free people.
I’m not mad at Piers. I just feel sorry for him. It must suck to actually believe and accept that the government has a right to tell you that you cannot own guns.
