In case I'm not being clear enough .  58% of firearm deaths in 2023 were suicides (about 27,300 deaths) How many  is that on a per day basis? 75.  And that number has skyrocketed since Trump took office.
You wonder where all the daddies have gone?  It's either this or prison.
Why there's nobody there to raise little Johnny.
And you wanna get up in arms about people smoking or Plastic grocery bags ?

  AND  Your big expensive  "pop guns"  don't  stop
tanks,
jets,
or missiles in the sky,
Just your own ******  co-workers and neighbors
and a count down  to a  drunken self-inflicted goodbye.

Good bye and good riddance.
But the guns even after , don't disappear
the family keeps loving and keeping them
with obligation
it's clear. Waiting to **** again.
It's not a tool. It's not a hammer. It's not a cordless drill. It doesn't fix the drywall or repair your roof or get your car started in the morning. Stop pretending it's a tool.
You're not a fool.

Preachers of firepower sing their gospel so grand,
While stacking ammo like holy NRA cash  in their G.O.P. hand.
The enemy you fear? Isn't coming dear. Ghosts and shadowy  Fox news schemes.
The real threat is you?
Your own trigger and your twisted dreams.

You brainwashed your kids and in church .
hate and fear
the art of digital click war,
Marjorie Taylor-Greene outrage, memes, talking points galore.
But when it comes down to it, the   "battlefield’s " all to near,
And the target is staring back in the mirror, my dear.
Does  it look like   YOU   and  NO  T a   towel-head   or queer ?

The right to stop a king with a single shot musket was their intent.
One ball at a time, not 30-round animal death and torment.

You shoot the deer, the fox, the birds that  flee in fright,
But humans? They would be the only creatures on Earth to walk TOWARDS  a gun fight..
Pray to your ancient carpenter or part time goat herder
there  is no such thing as  subsistence hunting
just animal   ****** .

Domestic rage,
drunken misfire,
kids too young to know,
You preached apocalypse
BUT the smoking barrel steals the show.

Oh, the NRA hymns and your freedom parade,
Big guns, bold threats, so carefully displayed.
nothing stops those  tanks, the  jets, or missiles filling  the sky,
Just your own  delusional ignorance
taught and teaching  "men don't cry " .  
Good bye daddy      Good bye...   brother, uncle, guy
Good bye   good bye      good   buy  ...

So cheer for your rights, whoopty woo, hooray,
Build bunkers, hoard bullets, live in the fray.
The Second Amendment, a relic, a myth you pursue,
Mostly it  destroys …
The sorry MAGA  ******* that  IS  you.

So if you're thinking about taking that to some school yard or campus, do us all a favor and go back inside.
Everybody sees the truth that  you've so long denied.
This **** isn't capable of defending anyone's freedom. Not for more than 200 years. It's an object  of rage and fear turned against neighbors and fears.
Don't try to tell me that it's not weapons and guns that **** people. It's just another tool. I'm not blind or ignorant and I'm sure as hell not a fool .
You can't **** 30 people in under a minute with a rock. You do that with a 30 round clip and a  gun show bump stock.

Kristi Noem  down  in  the gravel pit gain
rounding up Mexicans and preaching bout sin
another innocent puppy in sight
be sure  to tell it again
about your abusive so called 2nd amendment right.

Sadly, they'll keep on doing this over and over again.
It's true,
as long as the NRA is allowed to sell this twisted
Second Amendment lie
to you.
Let's not pretend or candy coat things. We all know someone that needs to see this. That's the whole reason I created it. Get it to the right people. Send it to them forward and copy it. I don't care. Put it as an anonymous e-mail and CC everybody. Make sure it gets to the right people. Literal lives are at stake.  WONDER stands for Wide-ranging Online Data for Epidemiologic Research. It’s a free online database maintained by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the U.S. It lets you access a huge variety of public health data, including:   Look how many of the campus shootings. And gun violence is from those.  "RED" Trump voting Apprentice rerun watching States.
the wild west's still with us
it isn't gone at all
8 shot inside a high school
11 at the mall

Tombstone is no longer
Dodge City, it's now dust
But, the wild west's still with us
Believe me...in disgust

They no longer use revolvers
And have show downs in the streets
They've moved it to the school room
Where children hide beneath their seats

The press are there like vultures
The NRA cries foul
11 dead inside the mosque
But people wail and howl

They've the right to carry guns
You can't take that away
So, when you explain that to their folks
Just what do you say?

The wild west's still with us
It's a fact, that's true
It's not the same as it once was
This wild west is new

Shootings in the workplace
Shootings at the schools
Shooting in the churches
Are there any rules?

Each night the news is showing
A new shooting, it won't stop
The shooter dies a victim
And it's always death by cop

The wild west's still with us
It isn't gone at all
7 dead inside the church
11 at the mall

Another gun, another shot, another bullet flies
Another place, another wound, another person dies

Another paper’s headline, another claim of disbelief
Another time of sorrow, and another family’s grief

In the aftermath of ******, it’s another call to prayer
Another prelude to inaction in a land that doesn’t care

I pray that we can live a life devoid of death and fear
I pray to stop the slaughter in this barbaric atmosphere

I pray the hate stops flying.  I pray the threat soon ends
I pray for all my children; I pray for family and for friends

I pray for love, I pray for hope, I pray the killings cease
I pray for you, I pray for me, I pray for lasting peace

Though God may have the upper it’s not God’s hand on the gun
Give a weapon to a demon and a wicked deed gets done

We have armed the devil’s legions, and oh how he is smirking
It’s time to change the gun laws. It’s clear the prayers aren’t working

did you watch the news?
she was beautiful, wasn't she!
they were so nice and wonderful!
it made me cry, seeing them!

the royal wedding?
no.
- the ten that lost their lives in the Santa Fe High School shooting last Friday. thoughts and prayers won't do it anymore. come on America.
at least one shooting every week
congress & president mild and meek
whatever they might do or say
no blame goes to the NRA

that keeps abusing the 2nd amendment
     who needs militias today?!
and thanks to that ****** arrangement
more students weekly fall prey

to psychopaths in our states
whose weapons open the gates
to free indiscriminate killing
thanks to our politicians unwilling

to forego all the boons
they receive from their insane tycoons
The recent high school  shooting in Santa Fe, TX, is the 20th school shooting in the 20th week of 2018 .... who tf wants to attend (high) school in the USA any more?!

It can always
bite
into your skin
but unless it kills you
                                       it will not change you?

once again

I heard bang bang

bullets shooting out of an assault rifle

rip through innocent young bodies

setting off a series of wailing cries



once again

I heard clink clank of gold coins

dropping into the golden bowls

held by weapon manufacturers, NRA,

politicians and dealers

setting off a series of hearty chuckles
