jakecaller Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Just Another Day in the Land of the Free Lately every day When I turn on the U.S. news I hear and see Another act of gun violence Another policeman shooting A black person over a minor offense For the crime of driving while black Another shooting in a school Another shooting in a church Another shooting in a store 50,000 gun deaths per year As if an entire town ceased to exist Yet nothing is done The republicans offer Useless thoughts and prayers And refuse to do a damn thing Nothing can be done they say Gun violence Is the cost Of our freedom Guns don’t kill people The solution to gun violence Are more guns for all The Gun ghosts don’t care for thoughts and prayers They remain dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinker Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 I'm sorry Jake, I just bought a shotgun. Although we do have one, I don't like revolvers, I have visions of shooting off my own foot. It is in the safe. (My husband is former law enforcement.) We live in a rural area, sheriff response is 15 to 20 minutes, isolated homes. There have been rare but reported home invasions. A shot gun with bird shot won't kill anyone but it will scare them off. I did have occassion to chase off someone many many years ago with a hunting rifle, which we no longer own. I'm for strict background checks and wait periods. Here in California the gun laws are pretty strict already. I think stricter than the Fed proposal. You made your point. ~~Judi Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
