Birds of Ontario is a Canadian alt-folk duo made up of Eric Lepp and Matthew Klassen. “Guns” is the first single from their upcoming album which is due to be released sometime in the summer of 2018. It is the follow-up to their 2017 debut Music For Animals. The video begins with the disclaimer that the song isn’t meant to be anti-American, it is simply a critique of the current administration’s failure not to do more to address the issue of gun violence. It addresses issues such as the mentally ill having easy access to guns, the argument that teachers should be armed, the undue influence of lobby groups and the ineffectiveness of thoughts and prayers.
