“An Open Letter To Hunter’s
And Automatic Weapon Lovers.”
Can any hunter please
try explaining to me
why any citizen needs
automatic weapon
if a huge buck draws near
and your shot is quite clear
are you simply afraid
that you’ll miss him.
Cause it only
takes one shot
or sometimes just two
to kill rabbits, squirrels
quail, pheasants or ducks
so why would you
have to use AR 15’s
unless all of your
shooting skills suck
And don’t tell me
they’re good for practicing
when your trying
to hit paper targets
even blind men could
aim and hit a bulls eye clean
there’s no real talent
after you’ve shot it
Using thirty rounds
fired from your magazine
will not make you
equivalent to a Marine
who can put one shot
through it dead center
again and again
until it’s just routine
What happened
to the real men
who could hit
a silver dollar
tossed in the air,
aiming with
great care
using their rifles
or their revolvers
rapid fire brings
Marksmanship
dishonor
Please don’t harp at me
about black markets
banning these weapons
will bring controls
with tough laws instituted
to put fear into
all heartless souls
Those who sell them
will get life in prison
those who buy them
will get twenty years
there will be no
kind of mercy shown
when in courtrooms
they will appear.
And all who re=sell
them will suffer
massive fines and
great public shame
as their put on a
list for watching
to catch men with their
own selves to blame
Gun laws must be
made more barbaric
for all shooters
who hunt and kill kids
no appeals…just executions
for the horrible crimes
that they did
Criminals will at last
have less access
though it will take
a very long time
till all automatic
guns vanish
leaving all of our
lives more sublime
Let’s raise the price
on ammunition
for all rapid fired guns
$200.00 dollars
for each bullet
then maybe at last
we’ll be done
with killers who use
these cruel guns
you can keep every
gun you now own
nobody’s taking them away
but if their made
to be auto-fired
turn them in or
you will pay
in stronger, far more
harsher ways
And no one should
wear body armor
unless your job’s
protecting the law
turn it in to those
who really need them
donate it to their
worthy cause.
Military grade weapons
were strictly designed
for only one
true use you see
built for putting huge holes
and exacting cruel tolls
on America
worst enemies.
They weren’t made for
civilians to use them
just because they
think it’s fun
they were meant
to lay withering fire
leaving corpses
to rot in the sun
cutting off all attacks
so they’d never come back
so why in the hell
do you need one?
Cause sadly they’re
also effective
in the eager hands
of crazy men
cowards intending to
butcher children
by shooting them all
again and again
until DNA is required
to identify each child
cause their flesh
has been defiled.
But what if it was
your own daughters or sons?
Would you realize then
gazing at closed coffins?
that were a necessity
to let you say goodbye
to your child that was
tragically chosen to die
cause some eighteen year old
had faced no real laws applied
so he entered a school
and let his bullets fly
into innocent kids
with no real reasons why?
Would you vote for a ban
that would only apply
on weapons designed
for cruel uses in war?
not for leaving your child
dying on a school floor
Would you change your mind
fast and begin to abhor
the very same weapon
you had fun with before?
until you lost the most
precious life you adored
decimated in seconds
would you then
learn the lessons
that no one should be
ever foolishly messing
with military weapons?
and I will guarantee
that you never will see
any of the head honchos
from the great NRA
come to knock
on your door
just a couple of days
after your dearest child
fatally passed away
offering comfort to you
in your worst time of grief
But they’d still
mail you pamphlets
preaching all their beliefs
in the rights to own guns
fearing they might decrease
hoping for a donation
to continue your hobby
to help in enriching senators
with cash for their lobbies
that allow you to keep
your semi-automatics
would that be something
you’d find problematic?
would you finally at long last
despise all their tactics
Just weeks after nineteen
young students were killed
my mail held a letter
that made my heart chilled
and sickened me in
so many sad ways
but I chose not to open it
I threw it away
and guess what the name
of the sender displayed??
In very large letters
it read ……NRA
These gun toting, cash cows
sent promotional crud
to help take my mind off
the gallons of blood
and I’m sure they sent millions
into mailboxes shoved
even to grieving parents
who’d lost children they loved
cause it’s not about gun rights
which makes it not funny
it’s about their sick need
to raise so much more money
every time there’s a shooting
do they think we’re all dummies
So I have to return
to the start of this rant
cause I desperately
need a reply
as to what it will take
for you all too forsake
guns that shoot
endless rounds rapid fire
while your facing
these killings so dire
Will it take one more shooter
armed with them bursting in
to a hospital nursery
with a most wicked grin
killing 35 newborns
and the nurses there too?
Would that shock you enough
to give up all your pursuits
of keeping harsh weapons
that were not made for you?
Can some hunter just one
try explaining to me
your true needs for
military grade weapons?
Just give me straight facts
with no second guessing
if you lost your own child
from a madman gone wild
would you still give such
weapons your blessings????
God help us if you’d
still be addressing
more donations to the
people possessing
the power to keep
such damned guns
on the streets
or would you think
it’s past time
for suppressing?
I’m just asking
you know
I wish no harm
on anyone’s child
but it’s getting
to that point
where sanity’s
been defiled
any of us could fall
to the powers of
these weapons
and it’s something
right now that we
can be preventing

Soldiers need an automatic weapon, and perhaps a few collectors. Maybe the police dept. although I would question that.
No one else, and that's why it is extremely difficult to obtain one legally. Or illegally, for that matter; even criminals have a rather difficult time laying their hands on a machine gun of any type.
Somebodies getting them at least two AR-15's that cost 45 children their lives. If they're that hard to get, than banning them and enforcing it in harsh ways will make it even harfer to get them. Thanks for your input. My nieghbor shoots a military grade weapon every week into a dirt hill. A complete waste of bullets and shooting skills. Why the hell did he even buy one?? that's the real question

Somewhere within the tapestry of recent history a determination was made that fully automatic sub machine guns like the Thompson could not be obtained by the private citizen for self defense. These were the weapons of choice for mobsters of the twenties and for time, beyond. Conservatives have...

Another day, another school shooting. This time it occurred in Santa Fe, Texas with up to 10 people dead.What's obvious is that these students could not defend themselves. Until all high school students are allowed to bring their own guns to school for self-defense purposes, none of them will ever...

We have several technologies that might be an alternative to new gun sales in th US. One solution is for the gun to be fail safed to the owner only. This would discourage stolen weapons due to the inability of anybody but the ower to discharge the weapon. Another technology would be for GPS...
