isn't that enough said?

Fifty percent of Americans say they personally know someone who has been shot.

Doesn’t that make your skin crawl and make you think “hmm... maybe something needs to be untaught.”

 

No? Just me. 

I guess that makes me gutsy.

 

Half the classroom, half of your family, half the party, half of AMERICA. Half. 

 

Out of two hands, one. Out of two eyes, one. Out of ten toes, five. 

It’s a lot as you now see, and we must put our outdated antics into archive.

 

Fifty percent. Isn’t that enough said.

Or is it only enough when it’s yours dead.

 

Help bring the percentage down through gun reform,

So, we can make a healthier and safer new norm.
