Fighting (gun)fire with (gun)fire
I'm very uncomfortable with any restriction that results in only bad guys having guns; so I think Mr. Thomas has a valid point here.
I also have this picture of a zillion poorly vetted, armed "security" guards, weaving their way through our populated areas every single day.
It's an interesting choice...

I read and saved this article by Cal Thomas at the time of that church shooting:
"I have been waiting for this to happen. For years we have witnessed the carnage when innocents were mowed down at schools, colleges, shopping malls and post offices. The unarmed (disarmed?) were easy targets for crazed gunmen armed with grievances, weapons and ammunition.
Now someone has shot back, probably saving many lives. All of the gun-control laws that have been passed and are still being contemplated could not have had the affect of one armed, trained and law-abiding citizen on the scene like 42-year-old Jeanne Assam, a volunteer security guard at the New Life Church in Colorado Springs."
