JD Vance calls school shootings a 'fact of life'
JD Vance Addresses School Shootings
Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance has stirred controversy by referring to school shootings as a 'fact of life'. Speaking at a rally in Phoenix, Vance emphasized the need for increased school security measures rather than stricter gun legislation.
I don't like that this is a fact of life. But if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets.
Vance's comments come in the wake of a shooting at Apalachee High School in Georgia, which resulted in four deaths. While he expressed sympathy for the victims, Vance maintained that gun control is not the solution to prevent such tragedies.
Democrats, including Vice President Kamala Harris, have criticized Vance's stance, advocating instead for stronger gun control measures such as universal background checks and bans on assault weapons.
