Gun Law

Do men grow up from little boys? Do they put away their childish toys? Some join the forces and go to war and Kill someone they never knew before The grown-up game they play as they Become more cynical, day by day They use a gun Is this necessary, or just for fun? It's so sad And bad It should not be A blot on all humanity Do we teach boys Who played with toys It's manly to own a gun To shoot a so-called enemy Is this how wars began These games have no place If we want a better world for The human race

So many shooters, but they are flies on the wall compared to those who invent and/or produce flame throwers, grenades, land mines, bombs et al to maim and slaughter the completely innocent! Aloha! Rico

G'Day Rico, I agree and respect your comments. You have to start somewhere though, what better place than the nursery...
