Candidates spar over responses to Georgia high school shooting
Briefly

Vance states, "I don't like this. I don't like that to admit this. 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." His remarks highlight the unsettling normalization of school shootings as a pressing issue in American society.
Vance urges, "We've got to bolster security at our schools so that a person who walks through the front door and wants to kill a bunch of children they're not able to." This reflects a call for increased protective measures rather than direct gun control.
Kamala Harris, responding to Vance's comments, tweeted, "School shootings are not just a fact of life... It doesn't have to be this way. We can take action to protect our children and we will." This underscores the opposing viewpoints on how to tackle gun violence.
Vance, in contrast to Harris, emphasized, "As a parent, do I want my kids' school to have additional security? No, of course I don't. But that is increasingly the reality that we live in," reflecting the tension between safety concerns and the desire for a nurturing environment.
