In No Way
Shape or form
Through various posts
Am I suggesting anyone
Take anyone’s guns away
That has to be an evolutionary
Individual / collective decision
I have no weapons because the
First person I’d use it on would
Not be here to write this nonsense
Besides, in all perceived reality
There is nothing a gun could do
To protect a loved one if it were
Locked up to protect a loved one
To shoot someone who had one
If it was so easily accessible it
Could also be used to harm themselves
Or get discharged by “accident”
Harming perhaps another loved one
Then they’d have to live with that
While contemplating writing this
The phrase rolling through my head was
“I know responsible gun owners”
Which in and of itself seems inaccurate
I only know what they tell me as to how
Responsible they project they are as a way
To convince themselves, way more than me
Making them semi-responsible gun owners
A responsible person would not own a gun
As it really is just a Freudian projection
To compensate for feelings of inadequacy
Their “guns” are never going to be used
For their justification for having so many
Which is in defense of a tyrannical gov’t
(How they hunt, when they can not see
The forest through the trees, is beyond me)
Their gov’t already has them living in fear
Without lifting a finger, save using the media
To scare the bejesus out of them constantly
On an hourly daily weakly endless basis
To the point of malleable mind over reason
That it’s a God given second amendment right
To keep and bear arms, though their children
Could die with such unfettered rights and
Unregistered access to deadly devices
How are we not yet huddled together
In one big global grieving counseling session
That misconstrued words in a document
Can wreak such havoc over deadly freedoms
Simply for having been deeply indoctrinated
That it is a God given right to have one/many
(I know I just recently used the following quote, but it is a good one to make the point)
“Personally folks, I believe that if your rights came from God, he would’ve given you the right for some food every day, and he would’ve given you the right to a roof over your head. GOD would’ve been looking out for ya. You know that.
He wouldn’t have been worried making sure you have a gun so you can get drunk on Sunday night and kill your girlfriend’s parents..”
