Hillbilly Vance. More thoughts and prayers? JD Vance calls reality of school shootings a bleak ‘fact of life’ Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance on Thursday called school shootings a “fact of life” that he dislikes, saying in the wake of the Apalachee High School killings in Georgia that stricter gun laws are not the answer and that schools must beef up security. “I don’t like to admit this. I don’t like that this is a fact of life,” Vance said at a rally in Phoenix where he offered prayers for the victims. “But if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets and we have got to bolster security at our schools.” His comments echoed what other Republicans have argued: that U.S. gun violence results primarily from mental health problems and not insufficient gun legislation. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/09/06/jd-vance-school-shootings/With so many kids shooting up schools, maybe the "childless cat ladies," are onto something since the former Republican party has no interest in addressing any issue even related to gun violence?

Weird how other countries (the ones with gun laws) don't seem to have this psycho-headline problem.
