America is a Gun (by Brian Bilston)
England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree.
America is a gun.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree.
America is a gun.
Brazil is football on the sand.
Argentina, Maradona's hand.
Germany, an oompah band.
America is a gun.
Argentina, Maradona's hand.
Germany, an oompah band.
America is a gun.
Holland is a wooden shoe.
Hungary, a goulash stew.
Australia, a kangaroo.
America is a gun.
Japan is a thermal spring.
Scotland is a highland fling.
Oh, better to be anything
than America as a gun.

It's so sad that this is True.
I read many blogs. Yours is the only I’ve seen address this. I am so very tired of this senseless violence. The answer is definitely not arming teachers, making schools more difficult to enter. The answer is gun control, pure and simple. Thank you for your words.
I watched it unfold on Twitter yesterday and it made me physically ill. I had to look away and I'm ashamed.
In my defense....my son was in the Navy Yard the day of the mass shooting there. I know what it feels like to wait to hear if your kid is alive. Those few hours felt like a lifetime.
I also was a teacher during the DC Sniper event. We had to use our bodies to shield our kids to put them on the bus coming and going every day for months after he shot one of our county students. We made a human wall. It was a feeling I'll never forget.
Yes, America is a gun and enough will never be enough I am sad to say.
