“It’s really nuts to ban guns
Let’s arm the staff in schools
For guns don’t kill
But people will”
So better arm the fools!
“Are you insane”
The others cry
“To fight violence
With more?
You may mean well
But time will tell
More guns, more death and gore!”
And politicians from the left
Say, “Let’s do what is right!”
And from the right
Amendment Two
Gives us the right to fight!
The gun folks
Take it literal
“It’s in the constitution!”
The right to bear
Do you not hear?
We do not see preclusion!”
Take Israel as our model
Their whole country is armed!
Why if you see an Uzi
You’re suddenly alarmed
“Out here back in Dakota
Guns have no restrictions
You Yankees want to take them with
Your liberal predilections”
We’ll never rid the bad guys
And they still have the arms
We gotta have the ammo
To protect us from harms!
And this here
Ol’ Bashevkin
Who never touched a gun
And always likes a good debate
This time it isn’t fun!
Must we pass new laws now?
What happens if we wait?
Will madness and uncertainty
Wait for the debate?
Will new laws stop the violence
That permeates our land
Through every single medium
That’s advertised as grand?
Will one day
Acts of kindness
Be the thing to do?
Or will it be
Like Kars-4-Kids
A jingle, not much new?
Legislating sanity
Can’t be by the insane
Or politicians posturing
With statements quite inane
Indeed, I fear that
It won’t stop
By simple legislations
For it will take
The world to wake
A call to all the nations
To see the light
Of only truth
And what Hashem commands
613 or 7
In all of His great lands
Indeed the time
When guns are gone
Along with ammunition
And beaten into plowshares
As we fulfill our mission
To spread the light
Of Torah thought
The world will say, “No more”
Lo yisa goy el goy cherev
Lo yilmedu od milchamah!
