Following last week's tragic school shooting in Parkland Florida, Ann Hampton Callaway decided to raise her voice about gun control. Callaway writes:

After the Parkland massacre, I decided to finish a gun control song I started last year after anther shooting. My whole life I have never understood why extremely dangerous guns are so easily accessible. After JFK was killed, CBS went to our school and asked kids what should be done. I was five and replied, "Ban bullets." This is my first demo of the song. It might change. But wanted to get it out as soon as possible.
