Loaded Gun

LOADED GUN

Let's start out with a story; there's a young man standing with his eyes glazing over with shock. His eyes slowly shift in utter disbelief from the still smoking gun in his hand to his best friend laying in the floor with an ever-growing red spot on his chest. His eyes fill with fear as the life-giving blood of his best friend begins to flow from the wound and starts to stain the carpet. I didn't know! I didn't know! The Gun was loaded! As the young victim's family enters the room the boy's mother screams in shock, the young man with the gun still in his hand utters I didn't mean to! I didn't know the gun was loaded! Please believe me I didn't know! He slowly lets the instrument of death slip from his fingers and runs to clutch his best friend as he holds his friend, he begins to sob I Didn't Know! As the Para- Medic struggles to stop the blood flow through the room come the most agonizing scream the words I Didn't Know.

A lot of times people die because someone didn't know the gun was loaded.

People often die over someone careless mistake

It's not always a gun or knife that destroys and kills; It's not always a terrorist bomb or some other violent weapon

Sometimes it's just idle words or careless actions on our part; nothing meant to harm anyone we're just playing with an unloaded gun.
