A Terrific Christmas Present

A Terrific Christmas Present By Elton Camp A toy assault rifle is just simply the best Parental approval of killing is expressed There’s one purpose for this type gun If the user thinks murder of people is fun For hunting this weapon can’t be used As if for self-defense it can’t be excused Did the Founding Fathers have this in view When the Second Amendment came through? So if a Christmas present one is looking to buy Then why not give a toy assault weapon a try? To kill large numbers the kid can pretend He may end up doing it for real in the end The Prince of Peace Jesus Christ may be But times are different now you see The principle of “Thou shalt not kill” Replaced by “I’ll do whatever I will”
