“Republicans have likewise pointed to the full quote from Vance in response to criticism, which was: ‘I don’t like this. I don’t like 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, and we have got to bolster security at our schools.’”
Better? No. Make schools into prisons? Vance didn’t offer a solution, just something vague. Like a magic shield.
2/2
The problem with the full quote as with the partial is that it shows there is nothing behind this empty suit. His head is empty of solutions. He is full of handwaving that some person will come up with a magical solution that will prevent school shooting and allow psychos to have guns. Or that concerts, football games, shopping malls are also “soft targets”. Gabby Giffords wasn’t shot in a school. Neither was the attempt on Trump. And he had Secret Service.
No solution.
