Why Adults Should Own Guns, Part I

An armed deputy who is waiting outside while a madman slays our joy and pride, tell me again how it is good sense to trust life and limb to the government? Police are good people, without a doubt, but they’re minutes away when seconds count, and few enough know this hard truth: Legally, they do not have to protect you. And I think we’ll rarely ever find a cop around when we’re struck by crime, criminals are evil, but they are not fools, they do not strike when cops are near you. Be they a madman or a common thief, what will happen when they come calling? What good is help that comes too late, when you’ve been butchered, murdered, raped? So if they’re not crazy, or criminal scum, I believe that an adult should own a gun. This duty goes beyond mere self-defense, though that’s its most common element, as citizens and free souls it is our cause to act as a check on those who make laws. Not a pleasant thought, and a weaker mind might proclaim,”But we’re beyond those times.” But such thinking is a great fallacy, power still attracts those who lust greedily for your money, your family, you very thoughts, they want control over the whole lot, playing along with laws when they have to while designing schemes, already ready to move when a weakness in our will is found... and come that day, when they knock us down the Second Amendment takes up the fight, the only means left to defend our rights. Though we hate the thought of such a fate, the threat of tyranny never will abate, so if you’re not crazy, or criminal scum, as an adult you should own a gun... CONCLUDES IN PART II.

So far I thank you for writing this informative poem. Your rhythm and rhyme are just about perfect. I appreciate that it is well thought out with solid reasoning and not just a rant as some do.
