During a recent vice presidential debate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz revealed that his teenage son, Gus, witnessed a shooting earlier this year at a St. Paul recreation center. This poignant moment drew sympathy from his opponent, JD Vance, who expressed concern about the impact of such violence on youth. However, Walz's comments took a controversial turn when he mistakenly claimed to have 'become friends with school shooters,' a remark that sparked widespread criticism and left many questioning his statement. The debate also touched on broader issues of gun policy, with Walz emphasizing a commitment to the Second Amendment while Vance advocated for increased school security measures.
