The Republican Vice Presidential nominee JD Vance said that school shootings were simply a “fact of life” after a shooting at a Georgia high school left four dead — the 45th school shooting in the United States so far this year.

The comments, made at an Arizona rally on Thursday, come after Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz called for enhanced gun control measures in their own campaign rallies following the shooting.

“If these psychos are going to go after our kids we’ve got to be prepared for it,” Vance said, bucking a question asked on gun control measures and instead championing efforts to spend more on school security, per the Associated Press. “We don’t have to like the reality that we live in, but it is the reality we live in. We’ve got to deal with it.”

hes not wrong.

the 2nd amendment tax ( you know the one where people get to pretend human killing devices make them safer) requires dead children.

the price for your perceived safety in owning human killing devices is lots and lots of dead humans, especially children. but at least you feel safe, right?

You mean the 2nd Amendment that doesn't literally say what the Supreme Court ruled it said in the 60s and 70s?

Damn, sure is a well regulated militia.

yes, the amendment thats been bastardized to allow everyone to aggregate human killing devices

just like the commerce clause is used to beat states into submission instead of, ya know, managing commercial interests.
