Gun Crazy

Bizarre shooting in Las Vegas.

Crazy incident and violent scene.

Rowdy, dangerous wild-west shoot-out.

Mom fatally wounded by teen.

 

Tammy Meyers had taken her son

Armed with a pistol to seek out a thug.

Is this a case of what's bound to happen

When gun-wielding people start to feel smug?

 

A car chase ensued; shots were fired.

A family is grieving; a kid's been detained.

By taking the law into its own hands,

Now does the family see what it’s gained?

 

Another incident took place in January:

Christina Bond was shot in the head

While adjusting the gun in her bra-holster--

A careless mistake, and now she is dead.

 

In December 2014 a mom

Was shopping at Walmart with a gun in her purse.

Her two-year-old son took out the gun

And killed his mother. How's that for a curse?

 

An obvious lesson comes to mind here:

Although many think that weapons are fun

And necessary, that doesn't mean

That everyone ought to be carrying a gun.
