Now I lay me down …


I don't come from gun people.
No one in the family ever hunted.
We were lake folk and fished.

I went to high school with hunters.
I also went to school with chess players.
Both were equally foreign to me.

I've always been grateful to police -
And military for their willingness to protect.
But I'm really squeamish about guns.

I'm not anti-gun or second amendment.
It just never had any relevance for me.
One way or the other. I don't know what to do.
But somebody needs to do something.

[And yes - I'm still somebody -
But - I really don't know what to do.]
