‘Nathan Dahm, the state senator who sponsored Oklahoma’s anti red-flag bill, told me he is protecting his constituents from government infringement. The year before Dahm introduced his bill, records show, a colleague of his, who was 53, sat on a recliner in his study, and, using one of his 15 handguns, shot himself in the chest. Last year, Oklahoma had the sixth highest gun suicide rate in the country. “Everyone dies,” Dahm said, as I pressed him about the relationship between firearms and suicide. “That’s life.”’

SING IT!!


That's life (that's life)
That's what all the people say
I'm ridin' high in April, shoot my brains out in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune
When I'm up in heaven with the good Lord in June

I said that's life (that's life)
And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks
Turnin' gray matter into whipped cream
Whipped cream with red chunks floatin' down
What a treat for the wife and kids when found

I've been a dropout, a drunkard, depressive, divorcee,
A self-hating thing
I've been up and down and over and out
And I know one thing
Next time I find myself
Losing the race
I'll pick up my Glock and
I'll shoot off my face

Yeah that's life
I can't deny it
I got a brain
And I just wanna fry it
Do you wanna watch me? Come this here July
I'm gonna roll myself up
In a big ball and die
