Donald Trump's running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance, once again found himself under fire on social media, this time over his comments that school shootings are a “fact of life."
“If these psychos are going to go after our kids we’ve got to be prepared for it,” Vance told rally-goers Thursday in Phoenix, according to The Associated Press. “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.”

When he was asked by a journalist what could prevent school shootings, the Republican vice presidential nominee said stricter gun laws won't help, but praised Congressional efforts to boost security in schools.

Wow. Pictures really can be worth a 1,000 words...

Vance is an asshole. A gutless piece of shit.

 

[beefheart]

Where are the ammosexual gun humpers to tell us that JD whatever his last name is this week is right?

 

[Ginger Ale]

It's a shame people in high places like Trump, and Vance do not have the confidence in their fellow Americans to put a stop to so much terror and violence in this country. I have faith that Kamala will address this, and that my representatives will put forth the effort to get shit done!

I will vote dem all the way down the ticket this time in hopes they'll actually take these types of challenges on since the right doesn't seem to have a clue and are too busy licking base balls to actually address dead children!

This is why he believes women need to produce kids...replacements.

Gotta use the "facts of life" to deal with the new fact of life.

 

[ElChupacabra]

Well, J.D. you can either take the defeatist approach of "deal with it" or try and do something about it. Since you and your lot seem more interested in dealing with it as a fact of life then perhaps supporting a law that has the government provide the public with kevlar jackets and helmets is a start.

 

[Threegoofs]

The funny thing is, the GOP will go balls to the wall to protect trans students from entering the ‘wrong’ bathroom at a school and demand laws be passed at every level, but with school shootkngs using assault rifles, they throw they’re hands up and just say it’s ’a fact of life’.

Talk about a stupid and clueless response.

If these psychos are going to go after our kids we’ve got to be prepared for it,”

Hey how did they prepare Vance, Trump, Harris and Walz for people that are going to go after them?

They have bulletproof barriers and security personnel armed to the teeth. Until recently they were even competent enough to stop shooters.

The point is the shooters go after the schools because they are unprepared, unarmed and won't be stopped in any fashion.

There's a reason the shooters aren't trying to go shoot up a police station or military base in general.

Well then you are very naive. Just look at how many of these mass shooters were already known by law enforcement and nothing was done.

 

[dmpi]

We have to 'just live' with drug abuse, homeless problem, black gang violence, unrestrained border crossings, graffiti and vandalism, drivers under the influence, etc. Just add this to that list.

So...then school shootings are made up?

Smh at JD Vance. Just an incredible thing to say.

 

[The Hairy Fiddler]

Would love to see Vance visit the parents of these children and tell them "Well folks. just the facts of life".

Do Trump and Vance actually want to win this election?

So you are all for law enforcement to swoop in and seize your guns on a hunch? Here's a hint: It's the parents who are entitled assholes that think letting their son take their gun is protected by the 2nd amendment. No worries right? Just try the 14 year old as an adult and the parents go scott free. This must not continue.

 

[Ishm]

JD Vance should have said - School shootings are a fact of life, and will remain so for as long as the NRA keep contributing to Republican campaign funding.

I guess you missed where the father was arrested for buying that kid the gun.

But it wasn’t a hunch the kid straight up said he was going to commit a school shooting and then did it. Doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to crack that case.

Yes I did miss that and they are throwing the book at him too. Maybe we are getting somewhere. I bet a bunch of parents will be buying gun safes tomorrow and there will be one less Trump voter. It's a win win.

Meanwhile, authorities have taken steps to hold the teenager’s father, Colin Gray, 54, accountable after charging him Thursday with four counts of involuntary manslaughter, two counts of second-degree murder and eight counts of cruelty to children, the GBI said.

I think that's a bit of a stretch, but I do see where you're coming from. However, I think those two ideas are not logically connected in his head since the arguments he gives for one is entirely different from the other. At face value at least, "Having kids brings women joy and prevents them from becoming cat ladies" does not equal "needing to replace children who are killed at school by other children."

I do see why the two ideas would be linked though, just not necessarily in Vance's head.

Unfortunately, Mr Vance IS correct. School shootings ARE a "fact of life" and they are going to remain a "fact of life" until the entire attitude of the United States of America is weaned from the concept that the BEST solution to any conflict is violence.

What makes you really think he believes or cares if having kids makes women happy? Religious and right-leaning individuals believe in reproducing more kids in order to have more people to live and breed and expand their agendas. The Duggar family is a member of one such group and their intent is to get their family members into positions of power in the govt in order to promote their fundie Christian far-right lifestyle. They already have placed a couple of young people as interns to Congress people. There's a documentary on the Duggars that goes into all this.

What makes you really think he believes or cares if having kids makes women happy?

Because that argument has been a conservative calling card and an argument against abortion since Roe was first passed. And both parties have groupthink on certain issues, and this is one of them for Republicans.

Religious and right-leaning individuals believe in reproducing more kids in order to have more people to live and breed and expand their agendas.

While this may be one of their beliefs, the biggest root cause of the belief in procreation comes from the Bible. And again, we're talking "rank-and-file" Republicans and religious folk, not politicians.

The Duggar family is a member of one such group and their intent is to get their family members into positions of power in the govt in order to promote their fundie Christian far-right lifestyle. They already have placed a couple of young people as interns to Congress people. There's a documentary on the Duggars that goes into all this.

Okay, so I looked up the Duggar family, and found the "19 kids and counting" show. Is this the Duggar family you are referring to? If so, I don't think they're smart enough to pull it off. Not saying they don't have an intent to do what you said (that is beyond my pay grade), but from what I know of what that show was like … yeah, that specific family does not have the brains to pull it off.

You may not have seen one of these

​

but back in the 60s you could buy them over the counter.

The BC fishermen were having a problem with non-Canadian long-line trawlers destroying their nets and purchased several of them. When those non-Canadian long-line trawlers started not coming back to their home ports, it didn't take long for the long-line trawlers to start respecting the marker buoys of the fishnets.

At 1,000 yards, the projectile was quite capable of penetrating 0.5 inches of armor plating. A "glass wall" would be tissue paper to one of those honeys.
