Licence to kill

There's a locked door
Up on the 5th floor
Behind it a man's taking aim
But when he shoots and kills
Through anger or thrills
How can the gun culture not be to blame

An angry child although usually mild
Is marching through his school
They called him names now he's taking aim
He's going to kill them all

John's depressed a real mess
How is this not a cause for alarm
He keeps a gun out the back with a bottle of Jack
He's got a licence to cause someone harm

So nows the time to draw the line
And stop dishing out guns cos you oughta
Think how hard you would fall if you received a call about the demise of your son or your daughter

I can't understand the hesitation
Of a supposedly intelligent nation
To stop allowing its people to be turned into meat
By banning the weapons and cleaning their streets

Hello David...

Criminals will always find a way...

To try to get into a mind of a psychopath still there's always going to be something that we will not know...

Guns is one thing...

What are we going to do ban gasoline so the arsonist can't start a fire and kill people or destroy everything they have?

Cut every rapists penis off, they don't all have them...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

Hugs...

Dave - David it's all good. Thank you both for the lovely comments. As much as I understand what you are saying I don't necessarily think all gun crime is carried out by out and out phycopaths so to speak. Look at thieves for instance there's the type who will break into your property and the opportunist ones who would see an open window and a wallet on the side And take it. I think sometimes it's a case of an argument and access to a weapon. In the heat of the moment it takes nothing to pull a trigger. 
thank you once again Dave
