Be ready

The Army is preparing to sell 10,000 surplus pistols. Mr. Sessions better hope military and civilian law enforcement agencies get in tune with each other. Just what America needs — more guns on the streets.

Short voyage

One good spinoff if Judge Roy Moore wins the Senate election: I won't have to fly a couple of hours to visit a Third World country ... I can just cross the Hooch.
