Oh, he had a combat rifle, An Uzzi sub machine gun A revolver and a pistol And a TASER just for fun, Because to bear arms Was his God given right One of those for which He was prepared to fight. Nobody ever knew Why he flipped his lid. Nobody ever knew Why he did what he did. Just wounded lying among Bodies of the six dead, Rampaging on until a SWAT Marksman shot him in the head. It’s not guns that kill people The NRA statement said Its those who pull the trigger, But folk still end up dead.

There are no indigenous natives Waiting to ambush waggon trains Very few live lives of danger Out on the old Wild West plains. No, perhaps they need weapons To protect from the likely harms Caused by all those others who Exercise their right to bear arms.
