When People Shoot People
(How guilty are Wayne LaPierre and Sarah Palin?)

Will making nice make enough of a difference?
Enough to make up for our taking a chance
On selling handguns
to the wrong kinds of people,
The crazies who'd like to make Wyatt Earp dance?

When people shoot people, only Dick thinks it's fun.
So why's LaPierre need to share in the blame?
People shoot people, but Wayne won't fault the gun.
To LaPierre the gun's just part of the game.

But when people shoot people are they being told who to
When Palin's Facebook puts them in its crosshairs?
Whose ideology helps people shoot people?
An Alaskan ex-gov's or Wayne LaPierre's?

Should we let either one of them get off scott-free.
They're a menace to everyone. Who knows who'll be next?
And though neither appears to have been sworn to secrecy,
We can hardly expect either to Tweet us or Text

To let us know who else is in Palin's crosshairs.
How many Republicans doesn't she like?
Who does she think would still dare run against her?
Who'll Boehner find that Palin can't psych?

The bigger they are, the harder they'll fall,
Making Barbour real easy to spot from the air,
Whereas all Giuliani will need is a small manhole cover
Unless Palin's tipped off by her pal, LaPierre.
