-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.

Wait, so what you're saying is that there is a distinction between being indifferent someone's death, and celebrating it?

I was under the impression that not expressing profound sadness over a death meant someone was celebrating it?
