The Tribune Proposes More Guns But Fewer Bullets

The Tribune editorial page made an intriguing suggestion Wednesday on how to get along with assault weapons.

This makes sense. The Second Amendment argument hasn’t reached the point yet where it’s defended as a right to vent grievances. So long as all it guarantees is self-defense, a ten-round magazine should be plenty against the next Omar Mateen. If even half the patrons of the Pulse had brought AR-15s so equipped in with them, they’d have made quick work of Mateen.
