A roundup of editorials Wednesday looks at why gun control isn’t going to stop incidents like the one in Las Vegas, why we can’t have a thoughtful conversation on it and why gun controls do nothing but restrict our freedom.

Opinions from the Right:

1. Stop our nation's runaway gun culture
From The Sun-Sentinel: Is it now time for gun control measure? Yes, it is.

2. Editorial: After Las Vegas, what about gun control?
Richmond.com: A thoughtful discussion of gun control would be good, but don't expect miracles.

3. Doubling down: Shea-Porter attacks two amendments
The Manchester Union-Leader: The Left needs to realize, gun control measures will not make us safe, they will take away our freedoms.
