A Fallacy of Notion

Smack the Naysayer upside the head
far fewer would have been harmed
had citizens not been disarmed -- 

Forefathers wise for Second Amendment
which Naysayers habitually make defendant

a necessary tool 
to keep safe even the fool
preventing complete social upheaval
while man, his soul, remains harbinger
of evil!

Good message, or reminder, here in this poem, Joe. The people that wrote and formed and signed the constitution, were evidently much wiser than those interrupting it these days. Thanks for sharing your mindful thoughts with us through your poetry, my friend. Write On! Bill

After the savage attack by Hamas, Israel is now allowing citizens to rearm themselves. Blessings my friend.
