Out Gunned

Being a retired military man Who served four years in Vietnam I never saw anyone charge a machine gun nest With only a 45 or 9 mm pistol at best School boards better get some smarts Or start passing out Purple Hearts Pistols are a 30 to 40 foot range gun Standing up to an AK-47 or AR-15 won't be fun When bullets start flying by their head Fear will take over and they will be dead Give them a grenade, mortar, or law rocket But you can’t hide them in your pocket Teachers are smart and know they’re out gunned The only chance they have is to run Maybe arm the teachers with AR-15s Then see what the body count is in-between You don’t need more bullets flying around That leaves more students dead on the ground If you want to listen to the President or NRA I pray that it’s not your child that has to pay 3/13/2018
