50 Sent, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter)
Tie a bloody ribbon
Around the old NRA
Its been decades since
Reagan and Brady
If you talk about us
Get off the bus
And don't put the blame
On me
Neat little shell game
You worshipers have
Avoiding the flooded market
The NRA protects
It's the mentally ill
It's the terrorists
But we never blame
Our flooded market
Its the criminals
Who don't obey laws
Well neither do speeders
But we still have speed limits
Car accidents
Kill far more
As if we shouldn't
Multi task at all
Other bad stuff happens
So forget about this
Collateral damage
Is the excuse they give
They bemoan rights
As if we still lived
In an age of muskets
Is all we still have
Imagine if
We still had today
The same regulations
For air flight
If Boing
Didn't have to obey
Modern standards
But Wright Brothers way
Do me one favor
You right wing nuts
Dont fucking claim
It's about rights
Its about
Selfishness
The same doomsday prattling
Religion sells best
If you cant have
All the laws you want
If you cant have
A free for all market
If someone else
Dares to vote
If they seek
To reduce gun deaths
Tony's ribbon
Isn't yellow
It is red
Of Montana's value
Hostage taking
And racketeering
Having nothing to do
With problem solving.
