I don't know Piers Morgan's professional history enough to feel qualified to formulate a tangible opinion of him, but I do agree with him re the gun situation/mindset in the U.S. is a nightmare. The elephant in the room is the very fact that no matter what is debated, no matter what laws or policies are implemented, the horses are well out of the barn and roaming free where gun control is concerned. This "debate" should have taken place long, long ago, while the situation was perhaps (I could be wrong) somewhat containable. Then again, "somewhat containable" offers no concrete solutions or respite. It's a situation which is well out of control at this point.
While I don't think Alex Jones did himself any good by his ranting and raving on Pier's show, and came across as a stark raving lunatic, I cannot say that I disagree with him about certain beliefs he holds, namely the questioning of 9/11. I myself don't have the answers, but I do ask questions, and am instantly attacked and labelled as a tin foil mad hatter for even broaching the subject and stating my questions about the events of that day. Speaking of which, it was a very low blow and cheap shot for Piers to interject and suddenly ask Jones out of the blue about his beliefs re 9/11 and other "conspiracies". It had nothing to do with gun control, yet everything to do with Morgan painting a picture of Jones for the audience - a portrait of Jones wearing a tin foil hat in order for Jones to be instantly discredited. Jones' mocking Morgan's British accent was another low blow on his part.
In my opinion, neither Morgan (from what I've seen of him) or Jones is the positive proverbial poster boy for their respective camps.
