USA Today (1/12, Board) editorializes in wake of the recent Ft. Lauderdale, FL airport shootings that guns should be kept “out of the hands of” people with mental illness and not returned “to them on a silver platter.” USA Today hails as “a promising solution” the fact that “a handful” of states now “allow police or family members to seek a ‘gun restraining order’ in court against a person who presents a credible risk for violence.” Should the judge agree, “the person is barred from buying a gun or keeping ones he owns.”
