It’s cool how the great big crowd scatters
And all of the shrieking and splatters!

Headline: Clarence Thomas Delivers Court Opinion Overturning NY Concealed Carry Law
I just want to let you know, Clarence,
I’ve really run out of forbearance.
For every child’s shroud
From these guns you’ve allowed,
I’ll wish you the grief of its parents.

Headline: PA Republican Legislators Block Bill Raising the Age to Purchase Assault Rifles
The sale of those guns for assault
Should never be hindered or halt!
Deny teens the purchase?
Why, that would besmirch us!
Death’s part of our party’s gestalt!

Congress is sure to perfect
A gun control bill
That quiets the shrill,
But has no substantial effect.

Or giving chicks choices
Or blacks raising voices.
What we want is AR-15s.

But somehow, we just turn our face —
One hundred and ten
Children, women and men;
Not all gun deaths come in one place.

Headline: At NRA Convention, Trump Advocates Heavily Armed and Fortified Schools
At Donald J. Trump Elementary
We’ve seven armed guards at the entry.
Our fences cause shocks
And the teachers pack Glocks,
And the lunch lady acts as the sentry.
We’re all of us heeled, you can bet!
If strangers show up, we’re all set.
And here we are taught
To ban books and thought,
As they are the far greater threat.

Headline: Buffalo, Uvalde Shootings Unlikely to Result in Gun Legislation
They’ll all wring their hands for a day
And tell you they’ll think and they’ll pray.
But the saddest of facts
Is that none of them acts.
They just wait ’till the screams die away.
