Three thousand, four hundred, and thirty-six
Shooting deaths since Sandy Hook
In America
The land of the free
and the home of
the well armed
By the end of this
warm, sunny spring Sunday
the death toll will reach
Three thousand, four hundred, and sixty-six
If we're lucky and don't have
another mass shooting
Because we the people
have our guns
and stand our ground
and don't take no shit
and live in the land of the free
and the home of the well armed
Three thousand, four hundred, and sixty-seven
According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), there are on average 30 gun-related murders, 162 people wounded by firearms, and another 53 gun suicides each day in America.
