From Cheryl Wheeler’s official site:
“The song lists all the excuses that people put forth for the increase in violence among children. The song ends with her saying: “But if it were up to me, I’d take away the guns.”
Some have interpreted that to mean that Cheryl is in favor of getting rid of all guns. I think it is more accurate to say that the song promotes keeping guns away from unsupervised children. My interpretation of the song is that we can debate forever over the “cause” of increased violence, but children will keep getting killed until we do something to make it harder for children to get easy access to firearms.” – http://www.cherylwheeler.com/songs/iiwutm.html
