"Facts of life"

?w=600&h=120

JD Vance has said school shootings are a “fact of life” and called for security in classrooms, not gun control, to stop them.

The Republican vice presidential nominee told an audience of supporters in Arizona that “if these psychos are going to go after our kids we’ve got to be prepared for it”.

“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,” he said.

“I don’t like that this is a fact of life, but if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realise that our schools are soft targets.
