Why don't they say that we don't need more laws, we need more personal responsibility, and that if both parties took responsibility for their own actions all of this would be avoided?
Where is the NRA saying that Travon made his choice by deciding not to arm himself? Would the outcome have been different (at least for him) if he had?
Sorry, these are more like random thoughts than anything concrete. The bigger question is why are we so willing to throw laws out the window and cut the government for some things, but when bad things happen immediately, the government needs to step in to fix it?

Did you mean to quote another post and not mine? I didn't suggest that any laws need to be changed or introduced. I am saying that if there are armed volunteers for an HOA, and they want insurance to cover their liability, then some sort of training or certification would have to be in place before getting coverage. That would be a free market reaction, not a legislative one. The training you get for a CCL doesn't cover at all acting as security. All of the CCL training I've been in tells you to avoid a situation where you have to use your weapon, and let the police handle it.
