The way to stop mass shootings is to restrict the sale of assault weapons. It's the only thing that makes sense. A roundup of editorials Tuesday takes a look at the issue.
Opinions from the left:
On gun violence, we are a failed state
From columnist E.J. Dionne: When will we stop letting the NRA decide if our children will be protected at school?


No one becomes a mass shooter without mass-shooting gun
From The Los Angeles Times: Regulating the weapons is the only thing that makes sense.


On public safety, Florida Republicans get an F
From The Sun Sentinel: We can put walls around our schools, but, in the end, we have to keep guns out of some people's hands.
 The right is looking for an honest debate on guns.
