We were talking about an actual Vance statement that included the words "fact of life".

Sigh. Here is the actual statement, unabridged:

Strict gun laws is not the thing that is gonna solve this problem," said Vance. "I don't like that this is a fact of life, but if you are a psycho and you want to make headlines, you realize that our schools are soft targets ... We've got to bolster security so that if a psycho wants to walk through the front door and kill a bunch of children, they're not able to." "If these psychos are going to go after our kids, we've got to be prepared for it," he added. "We don't have to like the reality that we live in, but it is the reality we live in. We've got to deal with it

Sure sounds like he thinks it is ‘a fact of life’.

His only solution, apparently, is to make schools “a hard target”. At which times “churches” will become the soft target. But maybe we’ll put screening devices for parishioners, at which time WalMart will become the soft target. So we’ll erect barricades in front of WalMart, at which time Little League games will be the soft target. So we’ll…

I could keep doing this all day.
