Get United Now!
by Maelyn I Carter
Let’s take the word GUN and use the letters G. U. N. as an acronym for a positive, uplifting and inspiring message to lead us into the right mindset to start this incredible day and community initiative...
Today, we must come together to combat gun violence more than ever before.
No longer must we bury our heads in the sand and ignore.
So let’s…
GET UNITED NOW!
Over 43,000 Americans die from gun violence every year,
Lake Murray couldn’t hold the volume of all of those tears.
So let’s…
GET UNITED NOW!
An average of more than 116 die per day.
Way too many young lives we have to say goodbye to and lay.
So let’s…
GET UNITED NOW!
America has the weakest gun laws and the most guns,
parents at rapid rates are losing their daughters and their sons!
So let’s…
GET UNITED NOW!
The US accounts for just 4% of the world’s population but 35% of global firearm suicides.
This grave statistic….. we can no longer ignore or hide.
So Lets…
GET UNITED NOW!
Americans are 25 times more likely to be killed in a gun homicide…
It’s time to put our personal perspectives and politics aside.
And
GET UNITED NOW!
Nearly every American will know at least one victim of gun violence in their lifetime…
To this fact, there is no excuse, justification, reason, or rhyme!
So let’s…
GET UNITED NOW!
Over 1 million Americans have been shot in the past decade, and gun violence rates are rising across the country.
It’s time for us to unify can't you all see!
