Dismantling the organized schooling system (because it instills evil liberal values in kids) is an explicit goal for republicans. Of course they are in favor of school shootings.
At least he’s being honest. According to them, guns don’t kill people – people do, and nothing must be done to prevent people from getting guns. Also, mental health is the root cause of all gun violence and we must do nothing to improve mental health. Additionally, one’s mental health should be not be factored into whether they are allowed to own a gun – even though it’s the root cause of these shootings.
Notice, not “we can’t fix it”, but “we’re not gonna fix it”. I think they all know the obvious solution, but are choosing to keep things the way they are because dead kids can be easily used as motivation against whatever political boogeyman you want (like they’re now doing with trans people).
You have to admit though, he did not give some political bs roundabout answer. Reading the article he said he doesn’t give a shit, they’re not going to try and fix it, and it’s because his dad told him a story about WWII.

> When asked about how to protect children, like his own daughter, while in school, Burchett said he has opted to homeschool his daughter.
The GOP has now literally accepted defeat. Private schools are clearly no longer a safe option.

They are not going to fix it. Not because it will be impossible to do but because they refuse to do it.
themeatbridge says
That might as well be the Republican motto.
Republicans: We’re not gonna fix it.
