Trigger Warning, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter/X)

I bet you can figure out, on title alone
What once again, needlessly happened
The names of the places are endless

As endless as the water flow at Niagara falls
They drop in classrooms and school halls
And the GOP has no balls, neutered

Not bothered, by the count,
Not bothered by all the bodies
Always pandering to the makers

Taking blood money from the lobbies
The tools of death are their fetish hobbies
Sandy Hook just another grain of sand

On a bloody beach
Public safety seems out of reach
God and Guns are all they preach

Coffins and caskets are their ends
Thoughts and prayers don’t make amends
“Good guys with guns” are all they cry

We won’t buy that bullshit lie
We won’t stand by while innocence dies
We are dead tired of the endless supplies

The GOP script is is getting old
The truth is something they’ve never told
The scaremongering is filthy disgusting mold

I want to leave my house to shop
Not have to worry if my body will drop
A theater is no place to hear a pop pop pop

I hate writing these poems on this topic.

Another mass shooting in Georgia, 9/4/2024. I am so fucking sick of the gun industry and gun lobby, and especially a gutless GOP that cares about nothing but keeping power.

Liberals do not want a dictatorship for saying guns should not be handed out like candy. Liberals don’t want a dictatorship for merely saying we already have 400million firearms in civilian hands and we are not safer as a result. We do not want a dictatorship for merely saying you don’t need a weapon of war to defend your home. We are not a dictatorship for saying you are more likely to die having a gun in your home from suicide, domestic violence or accidental, than to successfully defend yourself from a complete stranger.

Liberals do not want a dictatorship for having the very normal desire to want to go out in public without fear of having our heads blown off.

We are so fucking sick of the lies, and the fearmongering. Sane people, including gun owners, who accept we have a problem, we will vote. And only insecure bullies care more about an object than public safety.

WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH! We want to work with all political parties for solutions, but what we will not do is coddle the status quo. “Sell more and do nothing” IS NOT A SOLUTION.
