This comment by Mike Welch on the post The Handgun Rules
I was raised in a family of hunters. Although I don’t hunt myself, I’m proud to keep a couple of guns in my house that I inherited from my father. I understand and struggle with both sides of the debate.
I think the gun debate has so polarized America that it can be difficult to read a piece of neutral poetry like this and not project our own beliefs into the meaning. I did not read this as anti-gun at all. To me it simply speaks to the emotional consequences of taking a life.
