-security upgrades to schools such as reinforced doors, bulletproof glass, and secure entry points
-arming school staff who are trained & willing, as a last line of defense
Can disagree with his solution to preventing school shootings all you want. But to repeat any iteration of "happy to see children put to death" is just vilifying him in your own mind in order to reconcile being happy that's dead.
In the quote where he said "it's worth it" + "having an armed citizenry comes with a price", he also said "driving comes with a price - 50,000 people die on the road every year - that's a price. But we have decided that the benefit of driving - speed, accessibility, mobility, having products, services - is worth the cost of 50,000 people dying on the road every year".
It'd be baseless and inflammatory to say Kirk is happy to see children killed by drunk drivers.

We do accept deaths on our roads because the value of being able to travel is an immeasurably huge benefit to our society. And yet, we have strict laws about who can operate a vehicle and how.
Kirk is against any laws that restrict anyone from owning guns, or requiring them to be trained to use them safely. We strive for better road safety every day, but America does nothing to prevent death from guns, and he likes it that way. That’s why he was scum.
