S.A. Miller at the New York Post offers a piece on the reaction to the Fort Hood shooting.

McCaul (R-Texas) called it a “common sense idea” to allow officers and senior enlisted men to “at least carry a weapon on the base.”

“That would be a deterrent, No. 1 — and No. 2, a way to have a quick response to any shooter that comes on these bases,” McCaul said on “Fox News Sunday.”
