This newspaper has long been a moderate voice on gun control. We recognize the validity of the Second Amendment, while simultaneously acknowledging that reasonable measures are a good way to keep guns out of the hands of those who would do evil.
We do not believe that gun control measures alone will prevent the next mass murder. As almost every police official will tell you, anyone can find a gun in this country without searching very far and without having to observe the niceties of permit requirements or waiting periods.
Yet we are convinced more can be done.
FYI, this paper, especially as owned by Tronc, owners of the Sun, has never been moderate. Best quote:
To them, we say: How high does the death toll have to rise before there is a consensus that we must reduce the number of guns and the amount of ammunition in circulation? How many have to grieve before there is an acknowledgment by all political sides that the Second Amendment is not sacrosanct above all other freedoms?
Answer: We cannot reach consensus on a false statement. There are already too many restrictions on 2A rights and further restrictions will have no effect.
