Texas Governor Rick Perry's immediate response to the Lone Star campus shooting Tuesday in Houston – the result of adispute between two men at the community college which left three hospitalised – was that he was "praying for those that have been impacted". But there are no prizes for guessing what, other than prayers, Perry really believes is the answer to college shootings like this one: more guns.

Back in December, in response to the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, Perry stood before a group of Tea Party conservatives wearing a black suit and black shirt, looking slightly grey, with his hair not as primped as usual, and told them that he supported allowing teachers to carry concealed handguns. According to the Dallas Morning News, when Perry mentioned a school district in Texas that already allowed teachers to carry weapons, he was interrupted by loud applause from the crowd.
