Gun Stupidity Ii



The dominant thought in America
Is that the gun
Should be available to everyone
Not excluding the stupid
Despite the collateral damage.
It states that the stupid
Must be trained for the shoot
For the stupid
Are the ones who stand tall
When asked to perform duty beyond call.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM
Michael Walker 01 March 2018

A searching look at the issue of gun control in the U.S. The N.R.A. as a lobby make sure that guns are easily available, even to the stupid and reckless. The politicians do not have the courage to stand up to the N. R. A., of whom Mr. Trump said that they are good people 'who could be trusted to do the right thing'. A most thought-provoking didactic poem.

everything in the world has two opposing sides, including weapons freedom without limitation clearly is not in place, although I did not say having a weapon is a mistake, but I also can not justify it by convincing restriction needed to minimize the damage that may be caused, this as a precaution something in the right hands will be right thing, and vice versa
