The Right says enough is enough on mass killings, it's time for a new approach
More than 70 people have been killed in mass shootings in America in four weeks, not to mention hundreds shot in other gun violence. How long are we going to continue to just talk about it? A roundup of editorials Monday takes a look at the conversation now.
Opinions from the Right:
1. After Texas church shooting, time for new ideas?
From The Arizona Republic: Why can’t we get past the same arguments that happen after each of these shootings?
