Debate reveals Vance and Walz stances on gun control.

During the vice presidential debate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz discussed gun violence in American schools. Vance proposed empowering law enforcement and increasing school security, while Walz highlighted Minnesota’s red flag laws and background checks. Walz also referenced successful approaches in countries like Finland, where gun ownership coexists with lower rates of gun violence. A fact check revealed that the U.S. is responsible for a majority of mass shootings and deaths compared to other Western countries. Additionally, unregistered firearms, such as ghost guns, make it difficult to determine the exact number in circulation. Hawaii Rep. Jill Tokuda has taken action against the loophole allowing for these untraceable firearms. Overall, the debate highlighted the importance of addressing gun violence through a combination of policy solutions and proactive measures to protect the safety of children in schools.
