My Guns

I pity the first liberal That tries to take away my guns. I guarantee they’ll die trying Victims of a gun.   The Constitution guarantees The right to bear arms. Only criminals should be afraid To them I’d gladly do harm.   Whenever there’s a shooting The Chorus begins anew. Ban all guns across the board Their reality is askew.   Equating Guns to violence Is like equating forks to obesity. Neither makes any sense Wake up and smell the coffee.   Society is to blame Not the gun itself. Unless you break into my house Mine stays on the shelf.   Every city, county and state Has gun laws galore. A new law wont stop violence Anymore than the laws before.   Guns don’t kill people, people do The only way you will get my guns. Is to pry them from my fingers You know, the cold dead ones.

Poo!

Guns are for killing people and some of you Americans have got this horribly twisted idea that the right to kill people is a constitutional right. Just bloody stupid. The only reason we don't object to your stupid gun laws is that they effectively kill off stupid people, a kind of Darwinian effect. The sad thing is that most of the victims are loved ones. Go on, revel in your constitutional right to murder. I think every member of the American gun rights lobby should be arrested and imprisoned for accessory to murder, before and after the fact. no cheers on this one, Jess

Ah...the Liberal Left has been heard from.

Fortunately, you live in Australia. Fortunately, we don't care what you think of our gun laws or our Constitutionally Protected Right to own them. My guns are for protection, plain and simple. I would gladly shoot and kill anyone who breaks into my house and thinks they're going to do harm to me, the people I love or steal or damage any of my property. Trust me, I will shoot first and ask questions later. I also target shoot, and skeet shoot, so I am well versed in the use of my weapons. NO cry baby liberal will ever get their hands on my guns or the 60 million plus other guns in this country. Although I'm sure that if Hillary "the Wicked Witch of the South" Clinton manages to land in the White House being a fanatical bleeding heart liberal she'll try...and fail miserably like all of her other contemporaries who have tried. As always your comments are alot of fun! Take care, Brian (bellavistabear)
