At one point during the vice presidential debate tonight, the topic of school shootings came up, which was an obvious way for the moderators to push for gun control.
When offering his answer, Tim Walz accidentally walked right into an argument for increasing private gun ownership by pointing out that the country of Finland doesn’t have a school shooting problem despite the fact that more citizens own guns.
Do you hear the point you’re making, Tim?
