The problem I have is that he thought it was acceptable, or even preferred.

That's not what he said though

he said

I think it’s worth it. It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God given rights.

Everyone with guns is worth school shootings, basically. Sandy Hook isn't an issue for him, because it's worth it.

That's what he said.

That's an unpopular opinion? That's a fact!
