A roundup of editorials Wednesday takes on the National Rifle Association’s power in Congress, why gun control may not be the answer and whether we should be looking at who commits such crimes and not how.

Opinions from the Left:

1. Rosanne Cash: Country Musicians, Stand Up to the N.R.A.
From The Washington Post: Singer Rosanne Cash is urging country musicians to stand up to the National Rifle Association. You can be patriotic and stand up orfor gun control.

2.  Robert Farago: Gun control doesn't work
From USA Today: No legislation will make a difference in the gun culture of the United States.

3. I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise.
We need to focus on people, not limit guns, if we want to make a difference
