I had written a fairly lengthly response and found that my comments were deleted later.

If UTSA students feel that Martial Arts are a match against a gunman on campus, they are wrong.

John Woods, attended Virginia Tech when Cho shot people.
John lost 2 Martial Arts students to Cho. Martial arts isn't a match against an armed attacker.

Government compiled reports show that the majority of the time, Students and staff/faculty are the "first responders" much like bystanders were in Tucson. Jared in Tucson used those "foot-long" magazines which were easier to grab, whereas Cho used short "regular sized" magazines which were impossible to grab. So, Colin Goddard played possum and relied on the decision and mercy of someone else to let him live or not.

Soon, those "foot-long" magazines may be banned, so we'll be under the same conditions as Virginia Tech, or Luby's or other places shooters used short magazines which were faster to reload and impossible to grab.

Let's not keep the "Status Quo" where the "first responders" are just "moving targets" and allow nutjobs rack up higher body counts.

Legislators shouldn't prescribe incorrect "cures" prior to performing a "proper diagnosis."

"students can keep a close eye on suspicious activity and people and report them before a tragedy occurs. Vigilance may prevent violence."

No disagreement here, this should be done, and should already have been being done, IN ADDITION to allowing people to protect themselves against those who "slip through the cracks"
