Sarcasm


Why have greater gun control,

Why waste time when there’s bigger issues to meet at goal?

 

Is it because the nearly half a hundred thousand lives aren’t enough? 

Or is it because its normal for a suicidal teen to steal their father’s gun and end their own… that’s tough.

 

We deliver sarcastic tone as a coping mechanism, when we really need help with the dangerous modernism.

 

Cops and citizens cannot control their weapons. There’s comes a point where benefit outweighs the risk and their needs to be greater accountability and control of these possessions. 

 

They are aiding in killing our own at alarming rates. It is simply preventable, here, in the United States.
