Assault Rifle Blues

Assault Rifle Blues

A Poem by Baby Ricochet
"

*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

Baby Ricochet
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.

LOL! Thank you Frieda
Another homerun BR. While my own view of gun ownership and rights is a little more liberal than described here you still make valid points. :)

Thank you Raymond
Fun fact: forget assault rifles; flamethrowers and thermite charges are legal in a shocking number of US states and aren't prohibited by federal law. We should probably start regulating those before anything else before . . . you know . . . people realize wreaking havoc with those is much easier (thermite charges being reasonably easier to obtain than weapons).

You are welcome.

so we protect our rights
Hand them out like girl scout cookies
So we feel safe at night
