It’s clear that the answer to gun violence isn’t more guns. Even ones that the “good guys” have. A roundup of editorials Monday takes a look at the issue.

Opinions from the left:

From The Miami Herald: The good person with the gun wasn't the answer in the Parkland shooting.


Trump & GOP won't act on gun control. So we must.
From columnist Eugene Robinson: Elected officials must support a ban on semi-automatic weapons.


Seeing through the gun lobby's fog
From The Boston Globe: The reasons for rejecting a potential gun buyer have to be re-examined.

The right is tired of being told they are evil because they own guns.
