Subject: Re: For the debate
They are citing the comments correctly for the argument that Vance was making. Specifically, he argued that since we can't stop school shootings with gun control laws, a consequence of that is that we have to harden schools (as targets) in order to reduce their attractiveness for deranged killers.

No, they're trying to imply that Vance threw up his hands and thinks there's nothing to do. That's the part that's flat out dishonest. He, as you point out, said or implied anything such thing.
