I think it was Ted Nugent who asked, somewhat rhetorically (re: Columbine) "what if just one teacher had been armed?".
No kidding it makes sense. No one should have to give up their right to self defense under any circumstances, anywhere, anytime. The hand-wringing ninnies can go ahead and pitch their fit.
A shooting buddy once laid out his very simple solution to terrorism on commercial airlines. Just place a basket of loaded handguns at the ramp, and everyone getting on board has to take one.
In Keith's book Sixguns he recounts being in Washington, D.C. for the NRA convention in the mid '50's. Some miscreant went wild with a gun on a street corner and killed something like 8-10 people. All Keith could say was "he would have done well to get the second in my home town".
Taking guns away from honest, law abiding citizens is never a "solution". It merely sets them up as helpless targets.
