Guns are the work of the devil
they send folk to their maker
Depends how fast on the draw
who will become giver or taker

Had to use Army guns for years
starting from eleven years old
With the 25 Pounder Artillery
learned command and control

My brothers were also experts
shooting skills of high degree
We would pass on the learning
in a hope to keep England free

To arm all civilians with weapons
is probably done to make money
Give them control of life or death
irresponsible and not very funny


------
If you listen to me long enough I can lower your IQ

I came into this world with nothing,
through careful management I've got most of it left.

Gun(g) Ho!
Civilians with military weapons is an oxymoron, Eric.
I'm not much for oxymorons.
I'm not much for morons period...
But...
I live in North America, where one of the countries has a whole lot of "per capita" guns.
Funny how "per capita" means "by head".
Maybe some gun owners use their heads.
But gunmen....they use only their trigger fingers.
Don't get me going on this discussion again...

All this to say that your final stanza is the weighty one here. My brother joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1973 and retired a couple of years ago. Never in all the decades did I hear him speak even one word about his "ammunition". Never. I'm guessing that in his mind, it wasn't a civilian topic of conversation.

Thanks for posting this.
