Republicans paving the way in their States to make it easier to get guns.
Even with domestic terrorists and amid frequent mass shootings –
They encourage militant.
Over 300 Americans shot on most days with just over 100 deaths.
Loved ones to someone, taking their last breaths.
In March 2021, there was Georgia and days later, Colorado.
Eighteen lives lost between them.
But not just in these States alone.
Throughout that time in the U.S., 850 shot – 350 dead, 500 injured.
230 mass shootings for 2021, before reaching the 6th month.
62 in May at the 26th day.
Even with these statistics, Republican leadership
still boasts of and promote gun ownership.
Now a theme it seems.
In some places guns can be carried openly.
Simultaneously, they claim to be preserving voting integrity.
When their true goal is to create inequality.
Trying to steer certain people away from the polls.
High on lies with no evidence of problems.
Moving on bills for restrictions.
For some Americans now, it is much easier to own a gun
than to vote for who they want.
The freedom to shoot and kill is more important than voting.
Priority to protect guns, not humans.
Making sure the guns have a home and are in loving hands.
Not the same support for all of the Nation’s children.
And those same hands cast ballots to harm fellow Americans.
Does Jesus shed a tear?
It’s not for this that he said to bear witness.
This is their fight, forget about understanding and forgiveness.
The same who preach religion and church.
Prevent the CDC from doing gun and shooter research.
While surveys say that 90 percent of Americans
are in agreement of some sort of intervention.
For gun reform or control.
Any lead to that goal, quickly gets cold.
Because the gun lobbyists, enthusiasts and extremists still have the upper-hand.
As if their guns are pointed at the Republicans.
Of what are Republican leaders afraid?
Are they just for ensuring that their campaign contributions are safe?
If their goals are not to help or save – why are they being paid?
They often argue that guns don’t kill people.
But it takes people to handle the guns.
So why is there disagreement?
About restricting those who will pull the trigger for bad.
It’s because their logic and say are just a façade.
In opposition to the Liberals and the Left.
Meanwhile accepting so many deaths.
Likely from the same who display pro-life tags.
Often between their said beliefs and deeds – there has been a gap.
Another hypocritical move.
You – do as I say.
And for my do – I choose.
It’s not only about guns, it’s about the value of people.
The upheaval to lives.
People being dehumanized, often based on lies.
The lack of empathy by our leaders copied in our society.
What Americans are being fed.
The normalization of hatred.
That even with threats, injuries, vandalism and deaths.
Some minimize the violence.
And since that’s what many are being told.
There is more hatred and deaths to go.
Whatever your stance on gun ownership.
You must admit.
What’s happening now in America with guns is not working.
Yet Republicans resist, wanting same to persist.
Illogical, unreasonable, irresponsible –
That’s their choice to secure their win.
But Americans are in for losing.
As people reinforce obstruction and the doing of nothing.
Then they have the audacity to complain.
That the government is not working.
How can you get to your destination when you prevent the vehicle from moving?
How can you demand re-location when you deny action?
Expect move when it’s stagnant that you approve?
That’s what Americans do when they vote Republicans through.
Our mind – one of the powers that we choose to waste.
As if the memories of the shootings are quickly erased.
People’s lives, nor the planet will be saved by lies and conspiracies.
They won’t give boosts to humanity.
That’s the people we’ve become.
It’s not stranger-danger or foreign plaguing the Nation.
Some may not be pulling the trigger.
But they support those getting the weapons and ammunition,
No they themselves don’t take the pens away.
But they authorize the removal of the ink with their silence or their say.
And support the aim of denying others of voting.
Americans choosing gun ownership.
While denying fellowmen their practice of citizenship.
Americans going through a cycle and formula for guns.
The same ad seems to run.
Mass shootings for your viewing.
You get your choice of weapons too.
Pick your venue.
Then count the dead.
Bow your heads, send your thoughts and prayers.
Until the next assault comes along.
Republicans and gun-lovers hold their ground.
Saying there is nothing else to be done.
And America moves on.
