Tim Walz on Gun Control: ‘Do You Want Schools to Look Like a Fort?’

EXCERPT:

WALZ: “I 100% believe that Senator Vance hates it when these kids — it‘s abhorrent and it breaks your heart. I agree with that. But that‘s not far enough when we know there are things that work. I‘ve spent time in Finland and seen some Finnish schools. They don't have this happen even though they have a high gun ownership rate in the country. There are reasonable things that we can do to make a difference. It‘s not infringing on your Second Amendment. And the idea to have some of these weapons out there, it just doesn‘t make any sense. Kamala Harris, as an attorney general, worked on this issue. She knows that it‘s there. No one is trying to scaremonger and say, 'We‘re taking your guns,' but I ask all of you out there, do you want your schools hardened to look like a fort? Is that — is that what we have to go when we know there‘s countries around the world that their children aren‘t practicing these types of drills, they‘re being kids? We owe it to them to get it fixed. These are things that shouldn‘t be that difficult. You can still keep your firearms and we can make a difference. We have to. If you‘re listening tonight, this breaks your heart."
