Had but one of those people on campus been armed (such as my example of Switzerland) we might be reading about a gunman who shot one individual before being gunned down by another, rather than reading about 30+ senseless deaths. Or perhaps he never would have even tried it, knowing he likely would have been struck down immediately.

Law enforcement can't be everywhere and usually responds too late to be of any use at all in incidents such as these. The first and best line of defense if not creating a culture of potential victims for aberrations such as this gunman to take advantage of so easily.
