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.

Where is the Audrey Hale manifesto?
Ben it’s in that warehouse that holds the Lost Ark.
They’re editing it to prevent it from being taken out of context by right wing extremists.
The wind is unpredictable in the Convention Center
Good point
Pence brings nothing of value to any conversation about anything.
I swear I was going to make the same joke.
It showed Audrey to be insufficiently woke, so it was redacted in toto. Don't worry, a new version is now being composed. Also, those dead nine-year olds will be outed as white supremacists.
Pence is a stiff. George Washington is livelier than Pence and he’s been dead for 200 years.
Too bad we cannot get this same law and order attitude from Pence when he’s in DC.
Pence is the wrong person to delever that massage.
He is delivering that message precicesly BECAUSE he is the wrong person to deliver that message.
Pence? Anybody know who that is?
I commend Mike for speaking out on those issues.
I listened to a bit from him today when he was interviewed by some Fox News booby slut.
Geezus, I’d rather listen to first-coat drywall mud dry. What a RINO stooge.
No matter what comes out of his mouth, he will never recover.
We will not forget.
Because “speaking” is about as close to fighting for something we get from republicans. If history is our guide, as soon as the left wailed against his ideas, he would abandon them as fast as he did the country on January 6.
Gotta look at the collective messaging. Every bit helps in this culture war.
Pence saying agreeable things is weird. It can only be typical RINO subterfuge; no doubt he's heard from focus groups what he needs to say to get elected. It has zero bearing on what he'd do in office - that would be up to his deep state handlers.
We’ve never executed a Vice President.
