Tim Walz has said he’s “sick and tired of hearing about thoughts and prayers” following the Apalachee High School shooting in Georgia, which left four dead.

Walz, who was named as Kamala Harris’ running mate in the race for the White House in August, spoke about the Wednesday (4 September) shooting at a campaign rally at the Highmark Amphitheater in Erie, Pennsylvania on Thursday.

He told his supporters: “We believe in the freedom to send our kids to school without being shot dead in the hall.”

“The news cycle moves on within a day,” he commented of the incident, adding that kids had returned to school feeling excited and “now we have four dead”.

    It’s just so evil, do they think we are dumb and can’t just look up how other countries with better gun control are doing? What do they say when they are asked about that?

      do they think we are dumb and can’t just look up how other countries with better gun control are doing?

      They think we are lazy and won’t do that. And they’re largely right.
