A Gun is No Fun

A gun is no fun. It can be used as a defense against abuse. Like everything else it can fall into wrong hands but there are laws that help prevent this from happening.

A gun is no fun

When you’re on the run

It’s bullet

That’s faster than you

And you can get

Your just reward

- – -

Remember

How you abused me

Because you were stronger

Now I’m your equal

Because I carry a gun

- – -

I can defend myself

From attacks

And physical abuse

That you’ve meted

Out to me

- – -

You can’t terrorize me

The way

You use to do

- – -

I warn you

Treat me kindly

Or you’ll surely get

Your due

- – -

I’ll not hesitate

To use my gun

On you

- – -

The law can take me

If they like

But the authorities

Will clearly see

I responded

In self defense

- – -

That’s why I do believe

That we should be

Free to bear arms

If we wish

- – -

For among other things

They protect

The weak

Against the strong

- – -

It’s true

That a gun could fall

Into wrong hands

But let’s hope

That our laws

Will minimize this fact

Guns can be a great equalizer, but, usually leads to more violence.

Guns are dangerous to keep in homes. In a moment of heated passion, you just never know what people are capable of doing, but I do agree that if you use a gun for self-defense, then it’s okay.

Guns, must be kept by cool-headed individuals. I do own 3 guns.

Two sides of the gun story. The former is essential.

Guns are not the answer.

Guns are a necessary evil, but they should only be used by responsible trained experts. An abused person might think a gun will defend them, but if they are disarmed by their abuser that gun could very well be the instrument of their demise.

Guns might have their benefits for self defense but what is really there to stop a person from using it as otherwise. It’s sometimes easy to justify actions when you are in a different mind-set. You are right on point right here. Good work.
