Buttigieg called blaming mass shootings on school design the 'definition of insanity'

Pete Buttigieg said it was crazy to blame mass shootings on the design of schools.

According to Buttigieg, the design of the doorways on our school buildings is to blame for the idea that we are the only developed country where mass shootings happen frequently.

The worst part of being a mayor during a mass shooting is having to talk to families of people who have lost their loved ones and know that nothing you can do will bring them back.

As a mayor, you take the steps that you can to reduce community violence, to invest in partnerships, to make sure that you've taken the steps you can locally.

In the aftermath of the shooting in Uvalde, where an 18-year-old gunman barricaded himself in a classroom at Robb Elementary School killing 19 children and two adults, some GOP lawmakers suggested mass shooting are a result of faulty school designs or not being armed.

Adding bulletproof doors and glass to schools would keep them safe, according to Sen. Ted Cruz.

Cruz said to have one door into and out of the school and armed police at that door. If those federal grants had gone to this school, the armed police officers could have taken him out and we would have 19 children and two teachers alive.

As more and more mass shootings occur in the country, many Democratic lawmakers are pushing for tighter gun control measures.

Cruz's resolutions are not useful according to other lawmakers.

The mayor of Kansas City didn't want to revive ideas that didn't work.

He said on "Face the Nation" that solutions that have already been tried are not needed. I visit schools in Kansas City on a daily basis. Most of them are protected. The majority of them have armed guards. These kinds of solutions have been done.
