-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.

He called school shootings worth the cost and a rational, prudent deal to make for having the Second Amendment. Even if you want to argue he wasn’t happy, he was certainly beyond indifferent, he thought children being gunned down was worth it and justifiable.
Saying I’m happy he’s dead is just attempting to vilify me in your own mind to reconcile your defence of a hate monger. In reality, I just don’t care he’s gone. Unlike Kirk’s desire to justify and hold up as worthy the killing of children, I don’t think his killing was justified or his silence worth the price of a public assassination, I just don’t care he isn’t around anymore.
But I get that I don’t share enough bigoted views for my opinions to be appealing and worthy of appreciation to you. All good.
