โIโm tired of seeing texts from children in a school telling their parents that theyโre afraid and that they love them,โ the North Carolina governor said in an interview with CBSโs Margaret Brennan on โFace the Nation.โ โWe cannot normalize this.โ
Yet Republicans think โDo Nothingโ is a solution. They want to normalize school shootings. Republicans believe the right to own guns should come at the expense of you childโs life.
Vance even said so.
