Seventeen people were killed yesterday in a school shooting in Florida. Next week there will be another school shooting, and this one will fade into the past for those of us lucky enough to not have our lives turned inside out by this all-American carnage.
We have become a nation controlled by cowards. While every other country on the planet has had the courage to and intelligence take guns away from their citizens, we watch our children run out of schools with their hands over their heads, bury the one who don’t make it out alive, and do nothing to stand up to our diseased gun culture.
For decades a noisy minority of Americans have wet their pants at the mention of gun control, terrified that the liberals were going to take all their guns away. The National Rifle Association was supposed to be an organization dedicated to responsible gun ownership, and they might once have been, but they have chosen to become a terrorist organization more successful in slaughtering innocent Americans than their Middle-Eastern brethren could ever dream of being. When the liberals regain control of our government again, and we will, we should take all their guns away. Anyone who thinks their right to bear arms is more important than the rights of children to go to school without getting their heads blown off can go straight to hell.
As Ian Hunter said in this clip from 1981, “I don’t believe that people can be anti gun control. I’m pro gun control. I think people shooting each other is an exceedingly stupid pastime and I’ve written a song about it and it’s called Gun Control.”
Gun Control
We don’t want no gun control
We don’t want no gun control
We don’t want no gun control
Stick to your guns, boys, stick to your guns
We’ll make a lot of money if we stick to the guns
The president’s with us boys, so join in the fun
We can make a lot of money if we stick to our guns
We’ll make a lot of money if we stick to the guns
The president’s with us boys, so join in the fun
We can make a lot of money if we stick to our guns
Gun Control
We don’t want no gun control
We don’t want no gun control
We don’t want no gun control
Let the bullets go
Step up the lobby, boys, down in Washington
We can make a lot of money if you stick to your guns
Tradition is with us boys, the constitution
So stick to your guns, boys, the final solution
Gun Control
We don’t want no gun control
We don’t want no gun control
We don’t want no gun control
And ain’t it a shame we ain’t got a war,
We’ll just have to practice on the sick and the poor.
We’ll just have to practice on the sick and the poor.
Assassinate presidents, and they ain’t the only ones
We can get them all, young and old, if we stick to our guns
So stick to your guns, boys, fight for your rights
We’ll all feel special on a Saturday night
We’ll all feel special on a Saturday night
Gun Control
We don’t want no gun control
We don’t want no gun control
We don’t want no gun control
Let the bullets go
Viva macho
Viva macho
Viva macho
Viva macho
Viva macho
Viva macho
Viva macho
Gun Control
We don’t want no gun control
We don’t want no gun control
We don’t want no gun control
