Those who claim – “guns don’t kill” are well aware that there are too many people who purchase, or have access to guns that will.
Instead of working to solutions and compromise.
They double down – increase their supplies and fight to expand their Rights.
More important than the slightest attempt to try and save lives.
Fighting for the freedom to take their guns wherever they go – to hospitals, theaters and grocery stores.
After a mass shooting they want more.
Often more guns are sold.
The NRA and gun sellers get their pot of gold.
They want guns in schools for teachers to carry.
As they side with leaders who deem books are dangerous and have them removed from libraries.
Can you imagine – open carry?
Trying to decipher, is this a good guy or a bad guy with a gun?
By the time it’s known, the bad guy would have won.
The damage would already have been done.
Are we a civilized society?
Where is common sense?
Seems they want to take America back to the Wild, Wild West.
Or make US have to wear bullet-proof vests.
More accessories to sell.
More money for some to get.
Right-wing and the GOP would have US believe, more guns will make US safe.
As death by gun happens every day.
And mass shootings have become and American stay.
Year after year, the solution from Republicans – Thoughts and prayers accompanied by measured and restrained expressions of care.
The Party of doing nothing, says nothing can be done.
Insensitive, as they proudly and boldly display their guns during campaign runs, on Christmas greeting cards and background on Zoom.
While societal trauma and fear continue to loom.
Gun violence – an epidemic unique to America and has been on the rise.
The rest of the world, horrified.
While in America, the issue is being politicized.
One side – no concessions or restrictions, not even background checks.
Good guys with guns, has been their best bet.
Instead of collaboration to solutions, their contributions have been to feed fears that the government will come knocking at your door.
People foolishly give such propaganda more weight.
Just one of many by Republicans to control minds and “guide” fate.
America’s obsession – protect the Right to own a gun.
Not the protection of children.
Gun enthusiasts and their allies won’t even concede to a ban on AR-15s.
A weapon of war.
Despite over the years, we’ve see what they’re used for.
As a cause of the right, there’s nothing to see.
They haven’t found a way to put the blame of this societal fall on the liberals or the LGBTQ plus community.
This one they have to own.
Take responsibility of those killed and are never going home.
Why do you continue to vote for and support those who state nothing can be done?
In exchange for what?
Tax breaks, money crumbs, a few dollars in your pocket?
How can you permit such madness?
Ordinary, innocent citizens, after they’re hit, torn to bits.
Americans, you have the power to stop this!
Living in US with constant fear of being a victim or, in more ways than one, like a sitting duck!
It’s clear who will work toward and who won’t.
So you know where and who ought to get your vote.
