The Right To Bear Arms

The right to bear arms in the USA
Seems set in bricks and mortar.
But get down to the bones of it,
All it bears is slaughter.

Just get yourself a driving license
And go down to the store,
Buy a weapon of your choice 
Then go and shoot some more.

For us outside, looking in
Madness seems to reign.
Another lunatic buys a gun,
It's slaughter once again.

Yeah, the states all need to unite to make ONE law for all states so people can't be running over state lines to places with soft laws that give guns to wack jobs. The NRA is out of control!
