Another School Shooting, Too Fucking Close

A school shooting so damn close to home

I know everyone says it but

You never expect it to happen so close to you.

Always seems so far away when it's on the news

Until it happens to you

Classmates tell about friends of friends dying

Friends are injured

We give our condolences 

But it's all we can do

 

Gun control

As if this will every happen

They shot up small children at Sandyhook

An ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

WITH SMALL CHILDREN

That's literally the worst case scenario of a school shooting

But nothing happened

No new regulations 

No gun control

If they didn't do anything there

Why would they now?

As long as they can keep their guns 

They're happy

 

"Oh it was just mental illness. The RESPONSIBLE gun owners

would never do this."

Fuck you

Who gives half a damn

Take away all the damn guns for all I care

Why the FUCK do you need automatic rifles and shit?

Machine guns? 

You really need all that bullshit to protect yourself with?

You NEED a fucking gun that can kill twenty people in less than thirty seconds?

Fucking mental.

Get fucked man.

You don't give two fucks until it's your own kids dying at school

Who knows

Maybe even then your deranged minds will think

"But if the students had guns

They could've protected themselves."
