The guns he used were his mom’s.
Semi-automatic weapons of mass destruction legally purchased
for defense against home invasion,
sometimes used to shoot mice in the yard.
But now is not the time to talk about gun control.

He plugged mom first in her bed asleep
dreaming of her recent trip to the shooting range.
Then he drove her car to Sandy Hook,
blasted through the windows,
methodically shot and killed twenty,
I said twenty,
6-10 year-old children,
I said children,
at close range so he wouldn’t miss.
The forensic pathologist counted 11 bullets in one body.
But now is not the time to talk about gun control

Seven adults including the principal, school psych and teachers were murdered, some placing their bodies to shield kids.
But you can’t protect anyone from insanity.
And now is not the time to talk about gun control.
