Furious Piers Morgan shuts down pro-gun supporter in fierce debate on GMB: 'How many more children have to be shot dead?'

I'd like to mention that before turning to the Daily Mirror, I scanned The Sun's website for stories to cover, and I realized that the difference in stories is far more prominent than I thought. I didn't see a single common story on the front pages, nor the 'TV & Film' and 'TV and Showbiz' sections.
The topic of Gun control is often heavily debated, especially in America's case. It appears that not just the US itself is conflicted on it's own laws, as many other countries have been known to critique the leading country in Gun ownership's policies. This outburst from Piers Morgan on a pro-gun spokesperson raised the question of how professional should debates remain when televised. In my opinion, Piers Morgan did nothing wrong, and on subjects and topics such as this, it's very easy to get flustered and passionate. Of course, self control is important and points from both sides must remain logical and consistent, rather than spiteful, but if personal feelings and freedom of speech was limited, then it'd be impossible for us to judge any spokesmen or women based on how genuine they seem.
The Daily Mirror also covered the story with completely clear biased. The paper appeared to be on Piers Morgan's side in the matter and went out of it's way to show feedback from the audience that praised him, with little to no coverage on the opposing argument.
