Piers Morgan has been singular in the public sphere for voicing the outrage over gun violence that has gone unspoken for too long in a political environment dominated by the National Rifle Association. The public backlash against Mr. Morgan demonstrates what a controversial subject he has taken up at significant professional and personal risk. While he has taken one side in the current debate, it is one that has gone largely unheard in recent decades until this latest and most electrifying shooting tragedy. More than any other public figure Piers Morgan is transforming the language of the debate from that of hushed political timidness to that of open dialogue and exchange of ideas. For that he deserves to be honored.
