"There are more important things than living," Said Dan Patrick° back in 2020. His words, of course, were feelingless and shocking, But people who agree with him are plenty.
Although Patrick's words were focused on COVID at the time, it is clear That folks out there will use his argument To justify the guns that they hold dear.
We can see that certain politicians And their supporters clearly are the ones Who've made the choice that life is less important Than having their huge arsenal of guns.
An epidemic--one of violence-- Pervades this country. Watch the killings surge. The Second Amendment, misinterpreted, Contributes in a big way to the scourge.
Doubtless there are certain regulations That would likely help protect us all, But people who oppose our taking action Fight such regulations with a squall.
Our thoughts or prayers will NOT revive the dead. If people are afraid of making waves, And if the situation stays the same, We'll be putting flowers on more graves.
We MUST attempt to end the senseless shootings. People must stand up and make demands. Those who scoff at intervention have The blood of many victims on their hands.
