Gone With The Gun

Senseless killings beyond my comprehension    
A human tragedy without apprehension    
The whole nation mourns so does the heaven    
Gloomy days shrouded the yuletide season    
     
Young lives were gone because of a gun    
How many more shall perish before it's gone    
Many hearts were filled with grief and broken      
Memories were etched on our souls as a token    
     
Gun control and regulations became a loud cry    
Some lawmakers agreed - it's worth a try    
But for an association who likes to keep it high      
More guns will keep us safe and dry    
     
"The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun,"    
Someone said, "is a good guy with a gun."    
Seems like Buffalo Bill in the days of Deadwood    
Also blamed media, video games and Hollywood    
   
While the debates are going on    
More lives will never see another dawn    
Will I live to see the day    
that everyone lives in harmony?    
   
Weigh-in your fifty-cent opinion    
Before anyone goes into oblivion    
On the pros and cons of gun control    
As well as an armed posse patrol
    
   
Do guns really kill people,

     <-- or -->

people kill people?
