Piers Morgan: Time to Amend and Limit the First and Second Amendments


Piers Morgan tweeted his displeasure with the first and second amendments this week. According to Morgan, stricter amendments are needed to ban guns and outlaw thoughts related to Nazi ideology.

Breitbart picked up the tweet and said this about the suggestion that we limit freedom of expression and speech:

There are immediate problems with Morgan’s suggestion, among which is the fact that neither rally—Charlottesville or Durham—witnessed gun fire or injuries due to firearms.

Secondly, the problem with the rallies goes beyond so-called “Nazis,” therefore focusing on that one group actually plays into the hands of the protesters. In so doing, it ignores TIME‘s report of Antifa involvement at Charlottesville and ABC 11’s report of Workers World Party members’ alleged involvement in toppling the statue in Durham.

Harmful and racist ideologies should have no place in American society — but the rights to freedom of thought, no matter how repugnant, should never be infringed. Freedom of thought and expression is why the United States has avoided extremism. Banning ideologies would likely give those ideologies better purpose to exist.
