Person With the Gun

Person With the Gun Juts received an email message about gun control. Here is my response. People should never own any gun unless There is a way to straighten out this mess Looked down street and saw some fools Losing their cools and then fighting duels. Discovered a shooting which was drive by Bring many sad tears to a person's eye Someone was not aware that gun was loaded Another person killed when it accidentally exploded. There were some hunters in a frost covered field And the front lead one should have kneeled What happened next is what we often do dread Hunter had been shot in back and found dead. To many of you this may only sound mental With no emotion about shooting being accidental After another killing had again been done It was because of someone who had a gun. I am sure that there are positives and negatives on both sides of the issue. I just feel like there are more positives regarding gun control though. Check in Switzerland's gun to death ratio sometime. Only law enforcement and military people are allowed to have weapons there. And, of course you know why. They know what they are doing and have been properly trained and weapons are part of their profession. James Thomas Horn, Retired Veteran and Poet.. How about a category for weapons.
