Tribune editorial: Time to take firearms seriously

It would in no way offend the Second Amendment or any person’s right to self-defense were Utah to start treating the misuse and sloppy handling of firearms as the serious and often deadly matter it is.

Too much of American culture, aping movies and video games that are supposed to be fantasy rather than reality, now pretends that it is a basic human right to possess whatever implement of death one chooses. That there are no accompanying responsibilities, no need to show cause that one does not pose a clear and present danger to themselves and their communities.
