Shots Ring Out

Shots ring out
    people scream
  Rivers of blood
    it's no dream

  Some have died
    others live on
  As spin-makers
    prepare their con

  Gun control pols
    blame the NRA
  Although in Congress
    they'll have their way

  The bottom line
    every time
  No one's safe
    from rising crime

And no one is safe from assault rifles period. I think we should ban them all and break them.

Hello Gershon, it is horrible all the murder that has been happening. It makes no sense to me why innocent people die from a shooter on a killing spree. Enjoy your evening my friend.

Crime rates soaring in southern CA. If you have loose marbles in your Kopf…. you will hurt someone, You don’t need a gun! A man was beaten to death with street cones last week! Highland Park killer was a nut job. All killers are also on drugs. They belong in asylums not among the sane Illinois has the Strictest gun laws and most deaths.you can buy guns cheap in the hood. And cartels bring them in. Normal gun owners don’t harm anyone. Once Hitler took the guns….death! Panagiotaxxx

Very true Gershon. No one is safe. The crime rates I believe will get much worst when there is no food on the shelfs and people start stealing, get ready my friend.
