Mike Pence calls for ‘quick executions’ for mass shooters at NRA conference: VP is BOOED in home state at speech calling to ‘institutionalize the obviously mentally ill’ and slamming ‘trans activist’ in Nashville school slaying

‘I love you too,’ Pence said sarcastically at the Indianapolis event, speaking about an hour before former President Trump
The former vice president called for armed guards in all schools and expanding mental health institutions in the U.S.

Vice President Mike Pence took the stage to raucous booing at the National Rifle Association’s (NRA) annual leadership summit in his home state.

‘I love you too,’ Pence said sarcastically at the Indianapolis event, speaking about an hour before former President Trump.

Pence called for mass shooters to be executed as soon as possible and blamed trans people and mental illness for the nation’s chronic gun violence.

‘I’m tired of the senseless violence and loss of life that could be prevented if our leaders would support law enforcement, protect our schools, institutionalize the obviously mentally ill, and enact legislation that would ensure that anyone who engages in these heinous acts of mass violence meets their fate in months, not years,’ Pence said.

‘We don’t need gun control,’ Pence added. ‘We need crime control.’

The former vice president called for armed guards in public and private school in the U.S. ‘The answer to mass shootings is not fewer guns,’ he said. ‘It’s more institutional mental health.’

‘Ignoring the motivations of the trans activist who killed three children and three adults at that Christian school in Nashville, and the ‘mental health challenges’ of the man who killed five people and injured eight others in Louisville, President Biden and the Democrats have returned to the same tired arguments about gun control and confiscation,’ Pence said.

The female shooter at Covenant Christian school in Nashville used male pronouns on social media.

Pence called for the U.S. to ‘get back to institutional mental health facilities.’

Pence spoke to the crowd ahead of Trump. The one-time running mates and close allies are now preparing for a political duel against each other if Pence moves forward with plans to enter the presidential race.

Trump’s remarks were his first public appearance since being arrested and arraigned in New York last week on felony charges stemming from hush money payments.

One day earlier Trump spent eight hours in New York attorney general Letitia James’ office over her $250 million lawsuit alleging fraud in his business practices.

Trump and another GOP presidential hopeful – former Vice President Mike Pence – are speaking to gun rights activists at the NRA convention in Indianapolis.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott and United Nations ambassador, the other three GOP frontrunner presidential hopefuls, are also appearing by video messages.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson and candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, are appearing in person, as are Indiana Sen. Mike Braun and Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio.

The convention occurs in the wake of mass shootings in Kentucky and Tennessee – this week a gunman killed five people at a bank in Louisville, Ky. Three weeks ago a shooter killed three children and three adults at an elementary school in Nashville.

The convention also falls on the anniversary of the mass shooting in Indianapolis that left 9 people at a Fedex facility dead.

Last year’s NRA convention took place in Houston, Texas days after 19 children and two adults were killed by a gunman a few hundred miles west in Uvalde, Texas.

But NRA president Wayne LaPierre, undeterred by the shootings, said that ‘gun hating politicians should never go to bed unafraid of what this association and all of our millions of members can do to their political career.’
