I've been paying attention to the gun control debate for some time now, as I've wanted to see the points on both sides of the argument so that I could at least try and understand where those who oppose my stance are coming from. One thing I've had a little problem with is the TV host Piers Morgan. From what I can tell, he is most certainly staunchly pro-gun control, and is always in an uproar against guests who are on his show that don't agree with him. If it's supposed to be a debate, it soon descends into a shouting match mostly from Morgan, and his guest(s) can never get the opportunity to put forth a developed answer without him constantly interjecting, proposing a new question, or simply shouting things like "That's completely and utterly false!", etc. He also tends to equate his passion and volume level for being more correct, as well as constantly saying things like "How many dead children will it take before you gun nuts allow the government to make us safer?", "So you suggest we do nothing while innocent people are being slaughtered by these maniacs?" and so much more. My question is, is Piers Morgan in any way constructive to the gun control debate? If it's supposed to be a debate, somehow I think he missed the part where people are allowed to actually to speak without being interrupted and being shouted over and not being allowed to give a coherent answer to a question. Your thoughts?
