Assault Rifle Blues

*POG: People other than grunts. USMC acronym for anyone not a Marine in a combat unit.

Gun right nuts shoot off their mouths 

for more guns and ammo 

To hear them talk you'd think this was 

the f*****g Alamo 

First they hand out free health care

and then they wed the gays

Obama's coming for our guns

in just a couple days

It's a communist conspiracy 

cooked up by terrorists

They voted their head Muslim in 

To force their own interests

We need automatic weapons 

so we protect our rights

Hand them out like girl scout cookies

So we feel safe at night 

Lets arm our children to the teeth 

So violence disappears

School shootings will drop to zero

In just a couple years

Maybe if they saw what bullets

did to human bodies

They'd think twice before they shot 

their bullshit off so loudly 

Twas a time I used these weapons 

When I was in the Corps

These days I'm just a peace time pog*

Don't need them anymore 

Weapons designed for firefights

Not meant for hunting duck

Blast Daffy with an M16

You won't be left with much 

You know our founding fathers didn't

see these weapons coming 

For if they did and had much sense

They would all start running 

You really think assault rifles

will solve our violent crime

Trust me when I tell you pookey

The murder rate will climb 

I was trained to use these weapons 

I know what they can do 

And you won't have a f*****g prayer

if they get turned on you

Folks not trained to fight in combat

with automatic weapons 

Bystanders blood will flood the streets

That's what's gonna happen 

Author's Note

If you're not properly trained to use an automatic weapon (that means properly trained in defending against someone using an automatic weapon) and you instantly grow a pair of balls touching one, someone's going to end up dead and it might just be you. Trust me on that one dearheart.

Oh my goodness, Baby, I have just returned to read this.....I know I'm not the same Daffy as you refer to, and I think the man holding the gun has no balls, as his trousers are falling as he runs, and he cannot see very well, and he may be only three feet tall. We have to sympathise. He has not your education. Thank goodness for men like you and all that you did and still do. Now I'm patronising, but it's all very true!

[Baby Ricochet]

America has a very unhealthy obsession with automatic weapons. Thanks for stopping by Daffy. It's good to hear from you

[Ars Goetia Poetry]

Ain't that the truth. I've only ever fired a 2.2 rifle, a gat gun & a spud gun, being guns are illegal the uk, though I must confess firearms are very cheap & easy to obtain here. My trip to the Las Vegas Gun Range in 2010 sure did open up my eyes, dayumm.

The second amendment right to bear arms in the us is one of our more controversial and problematic amendments. A total gun ban in the us would be political suicide for any member of government to suggest it, impossible to implement and quite simply would just be unamerican.

[Chris]

I proved I could "kill" a half dollar with one shot 11 straight years. I proved I could "overkill" it with five shots - every time... with a 45 I had crossed pistols. With a rifle - they only needed one spotter... at any yardage.

We don't need more guns... as much as we need more responsible people.

[Baby Ricochet]

That's for sure. Thank you Chris

Another piece that had me at hello, brilliantly titled and also well written [as usual].

It reminds me of something I put on facebook yesterday and how i thought it questioned what we give to our children. There are so many brilliant points made in this piece and again its bold and daring.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you secretwriter

[00000000000000000000000..]

A bold hardcore write, Sounds like Mark needs to run for Congress, The master minds are gone more less it takes people with words to push the fronts. I'm not much for political anymore, I don't keep up with the news , the window is good enough picture stays in tune at times. They might be an accident or 2 maybe outa 10 years, dogs bark when trouble comes. Nothing is free even Obama Care! But I wont go their. Your a solid writer that's what I like most about you a radical poet who shakes the wind and puts peoples minds in a spin. I find that awesome:) Well done Mark well done:)

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you so much. I appreciate it

[0000000000000000000000000000]

My pleasure Mark:)

[Thomas Fitzgerald]

Indeed BR, I admit guns scare me, I know that may sound childish, however they are a very real power i the hands of idiots some time, now that is truly terrifying, well done, good read.

[Baby Ricochet]

If you're going to be scared of something high powered, automatic weapons are a damn good choice.

[Gaurav Walia]

Great Job!.. thanks for sharing...

[Baby Ricochet]

Thanks for reading Gaurav

[Daniel Sala]

Nice response to the: "more guns mean more security for all" shameless lie made by glorified gun salesmen.

[Baby Ricochet]

More guns means more homicides. You'd think any yuts could figure that out.

[Daniel Sala]

...apparently not if you are a yutz who cynically wants to make a quick buck off selling death. Soon Hell will be over-populated with the disgraceful wretches of our world as they go dying, but not before they ruin our lives and world.

[Carolann Dowsett]

Awesome Truth, shame the majority of the world are to dumb to realise.

[Baby Ricochet]

Thank you carolannn

[Aristede Craig Jr]
