“Reasons”

March 1st, 2012

There are reasons to own a gun
And one of them is just for fun,
And then there’s hunting ducks and deer, ‘Cause venison sometimes beats
steer.
But some guns have a better use
Than shooting bear or even moose.
They are great for self-protection
If you are some thug’s selection.
And even more, when government
Comes after us with foul intent
To take our freedom clean away,
As tyrants do, ‘most ev’ry day,
We have our guns to action take
‘Gainst tyranny for freedom’s sake.
To those who’d confiscate our guns
Hear this from Liberty’s new sons:
“When government our guns demands
They’ll take them from our cold, dead hands.”
