At Sandy Hook, A man, he took, A loaded gun into a building of little kids, And showed a whole country what tragedy really is, 28 families with an emptiness inside, A gunman, reckless, never tempted to hide, Christmas stockings, they hang unfilled, For the children who at the hands of that man, were killed, Now, I don't think the answer is to ban Assault weapons, when they weren't even used by the man, But what's the plan? Take all the guns away? Hypocritical government has got nothing to say. I'm sure politicians with their wicked twisted ways Do not mind the guns that protect them everyday. Or the soldiers overseas protecting freedom with an M16, So what's it mean? I guess one summary to me, Gun laws aren't the problem, the issue is bigger, It's not the Guns who **** it's the one's who pull the trigger..

The Issue Lies in the Trigger
