We are the Triggers

  

It figures, it just figures

the Trigger that aims the hand

that holds our world as hostage

to its own snaps of reason

proclaims Its innocence!

...Personifies the weapon:

"There, there, lies the One that did it!"

By tradition we are all

perpetually hunted,

hunted by our discomfort

yet figure ourselves Hunters

of the entire Dominion

...seen for us to rape, plunder

But not by Everyone, no,

just for a selected few

unjustified Successes;

for these now, or that there, or

say with hard-enough work

...or by one lottery-stroke: 

"some nobody just like you!"

Cause sorry there's not a lot

to be had for us at all;

it's no wonder some latch off 

uncontrolled at friend or foe

under overwhelming stress

...targeted and trapped like It

Plain folks in lines of fire

each of us a simile

as the ever loaded Gun,

one step closer, and closer,

to firing our bullets

...reactive Triggers that we are

Place a gun on the table,

Command it to shoot you,

You will live without harm.

A gun can only destroy,

If a human wields it.

Ignorance kills

Turning ones back on the truth is what actually kills people.

A gun needs a hand.

In the wrong hands it is not protection it is death.

No one needs an automatic rifle or a machine gun for protecting their home.

Guns are not cool accessories to be carried they are weapons of destruction.

Gun manufacturers do not care who owns a gun as long as they profit from them.

A pool of blood can easily be wiped from a floor but not so easily wiped from inside ones mind.

When our children think guns are cool it just proves that as a society we are failing them.

Allowing criminals to have as good a weapon or better than the members of law enforcement rather defeats the object of law enforcement.

If you get angry with someone and you do not own a gun, you sort the problem out in other ways, owning a gun increases the chance of you acting on the spur of the moment and killing/harming someone.

The 2nd amendment is out dated and not suitable for modern times.
