Thank you Gabby Giffords
former Democratic Representative
of Arizona
for your gun control advocacy
which you now do
outside of Congress
through the non-profit
Americans for Responsible Solutions.
Thank you Congress
for another year
of serving the for-profit
Americans for Reprehensible Stalemates
who started 2015
with a "bang"
by posting a list of
"10 Handguns to Own Before You Die"
on its parent organization website
NRA.gov.
Since Giffords retired
two years ago
there have been nearly
one hundred more
school shootings.
Obama called you "a hero"
but just like
Tina Turner said
maybe "We don't need
another hero."
