I like what Texas Land Commissioner, Jerry Patterson, said in response to the Connecticut shooting:

"School districts may need to arm individuals on campuses to put down a gunman like the one who killed scores of teachers and students Friday at a Connecticut elementary school, a top Texas official said Friday. 'The common denominator for the school shootings in Aurora, Columbine and Virginia Tech is that we have a target-rich environment,' said Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson. 'You have a shooter that is completely free to go about his sick fantasy. We need to do what it takes to change that.' One game changer, Patterson said, would be to arm more police officers, security guards and responsible citizens on campuses to confront a mass shooter. 'Had there been (armed security guard and citizens) in Colorado, at Virginia Tech or now in Connecticut — someone that could have changed the dynamic and to do so by having a firearm — there would be fewer lives lost.'"
