Sarah Bettens just uploaded the video of her song, Daddy's Gun, here at Fuzz.
It is always impossible to prove a negative [a definitive assertion of the absence of a negative]. Thus, we will never know how many children and others will not be killed in the future because the gun was not there... and more precisely because Sarah sang this song and it got through to someone to take action to control accessibility to guns.
We can all take comfort and marvel that, although we can't count the number of people who will have rich and full lives because of Sarah's song, it is beyond quantitative assessment.
This is an important piece created by a committed and beautiful person who enriches our lives with her music. The power of music to change our lives is a thing to behold.

Sarah, thank you for this.
Happiness is a Warm Gun.
But the afflictive gun is a bit more figurative.
