Shootings


In Iowa

the governor says she’s praying

the senator says he’s praying

presidential candidates tell us to pray.

What?!

Oh, yes, I observe how well

that’s working.

82 school shootings last year,

39 dead, 89 wounded.

In US, death by gun is now primary

cause of demise for children and teens.

It’s not much better for the rest of us.

18,762 shot dead.

36,167 injured.

If you’re male, depressed, have a gun,

just shoot yourself.

Bang!

Thousands shot themselves.

I know some keep saying,

“People kill people, not guns.”

If you don’t have a gun,

you can’t shoot someone else

or yourself with one.

The most popular gun in the US?

An AR-15.

Think about that!

What does it tell

you about this country.

Do You Need an AK-15??


I was going to post a poem today but found this and decided to share.  Maybe I could create a poem about all this shooting but would it matter? Doubt it.  This blog post says more or less what I think about all this.  I read the comments on the original blog post.  Anyone who seems to post anything controversial will receive a lot of malign and or misinformed comments.  Some people appeared to have totally misread the post.

Do I know how to shoot?  Yes.  I used to be my dad’s hunting partner.  I could hit bunnies, squirrels, raccoons on the run with a 22 without a scope.  We used large caliber rifles to deer hunt.

I no longer possess any interest in killing animals.  I do not object to hunting if you eat it and it is not endangered.
