Where in the hell does this song say to bring guns and try to solve anything with violence?

Why in the hell can't one point of view stand as a song? The way I read it, she is empathising and asking for empathy from women of all nations against loss due to the stupidity of war/violence/guns/bombs, etc. Of COURSE we cannot solve this with guns.

If you don't agree with the sentiments, write your own song and start a thread for it.

As a woman, mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, spouse and friend, I understand the empathy for all encompassed in this song.
