What Are Friends For

Arabs are wondering what fool
They can shoot on their way to school
The Yanks do not care
As they shoot their share
Ensuring the NRA rule

We certainly need to do something to curb gun violence. I haven't heard the NRA speaking out lately, but many of our elected officials want their PAC dollars. Pitiful, eh? Hugs, Carolyn

Anyone who buys a gun wants to show it off and then justify its purchase by using it, most especially the young who have yet to appreciate life. Another reason to enjoy life in IOM! Aloha! Rico
