I recall a conservative news segment where the “jounalist” and “expert” had discussed that the kids should have rushed the shooter and overwhelmed him. Doesn’t matter they were 6-7 they should have stepped up and stopped it all.

Conclusions come first in the loyalist worldview. It’s your duty to make up whatever arguments get you there. They don’t have to be convincing, morally sound, internally consistent, or even sane. All that matters is performing loyalty. The people above you are correct, by definition, or they wouldn’t be above you. Reality itself is defined by that hierarchy.
These people think that’s all you’re doing. They think that’s all there is.
Gaslighting or, pardon the pun, disarming what actually could be done in government to prevent this from happening in the future is despicable. It’s epitomizes the modern understanding of the US Republican party. The government can’t fix anything: it’s the citizens’ responsibility for systemic problems.

I think that’s actually one of the few ways that could work out well.
