During a recent discussion on gun violence in schools, Republican Senator JD Vance emphasized the importance of enhancing school security measures. When asked about the possibility of holding parents criminally responsible for mass shootings committed by their children, Vance expressed his trust in local law enforcement and authorities to make such decisions. He acknowledged that the appropriateness of such actions would vary on a case-by-case basis.
Vance highlighted the need for a collaborative effort to address gun violence, noting that both he and Democrat Governor Tim Walz likely share the belief that improvements are necessary in this area. Walz appeared to agree with Vance's sentiments, nodding in acknowledgment.
Addressing the issue of illegally obtained firearms, Vance criticized Vice President Kamala Harris' border policies and stressed the importance of bolstering school security measures. He advocated for the implementation of stronger windows and the presence of additional school resource officers as part of a comprehensive approach to enhancing safety in educational settings.
