How To Prevent School Shootings

How To Prevent School Shootings

By Elton Camp

Americans, with guns have a love affair
To speak against them, only the brave dare

Vicious school shootings don’t faze ’em
They love guns and continue to praise ’em

There is a simple solution, they say
Post guards so it won’t be that way

With armed guards at the school door
There won’t be such shootings anymore

But here’s a reality they won’t face
Shootings continue at an army base

With armed guards there, galore
Shootings continue just as before

If a military base we can’t protect
School security we can’t expect

Such deaths are the price we pay
So gun lovers can have their way

“Guns don’t kill,” they will prate
Deaths continue at an alarming rate
