Following the aftermath of the Sutherland Springs church shooting that killed 26 worshipers, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) said that professional security or armed congregation members might be needed "when something like this happens again."

During an interview with FOX News Sunday, Paxton gave his comments about the nation's most recent mass shooting and what the government should do to change these things.

"I wish some law would fix all of this," he said during the interview. "You can't necessarily keep guns out of the hands of people who are going to violate the law. If someone is willing to kill someone, they're also going to be willing to violate a gun law.

"All I can say is in Texas at least we have the opportunity to concealed carry," he explained. "And so ... there's always the opportunity that gunman will be taken out before he has the opportunity to kill very many people.

"As we speak, we've had shootings at churches for forever. This is going to happen again. And so, we need people in terms of professional security or in terms of arming the parishioners or the congregation so that they can respond when something like this happens again.
