Get the guns off the street
Get the guns off the street,
Innocent children can't afford to eat,
No clothes or socks on thier feet,
Get the guns off the street,
Children shouldn't hear the words RETREAT!!!
RUN HIDE FIGHT,
This is not the normal life!!!
The Children are our future,
There shouldn't be a slaughter,
These shootings are too much,
Children should worry about whats for lunch!
Not about will they see tomorrow!!
The whole world cries in sorrow.
Send your thoughts and prayers in the sky,
It doesn't help the ones who didn't survive,
Tattered and torn from the normality,
This is not how it's supposed to be,
We have been too accepting of shooting sprees.
Get the guns off the street,
This doesn't have to end like this,
These politicians don't give a shit,
The media just keeps getting rich (bitch!!!)
The 2nd amendment is the right to bare arms,
To protect your home and keep your family safe,
Not to execute your mental instabilities,
That's not keeping no one safe!!!
Get the guns off the street,
Let's tell congress to get off thier feet,
Let your voices be heard,
Be the voice of the voiceless
Let's take back our world!!!
Evolution, revolution no conclusion its just words!!
Get the guns off the street!!!
The righters seem to think
The righters seem to think that the 2nd Amendment is unadjustable, and must be preserved exactly as the Framers of the Constitution wrote it. Yet, we have several precedents to show that we can successfully adjust the Framers' intentions with our own present reality. The Framers allowed slavery and restricted the vote to males (and then the colonies that became states further restricted the franchise to property holders). Two holdovers from the Framers eighteenth century perspective are the 2nd amendment and the electoral college. Congress can still certify the presidental election results (despite the precedent, sadly established, and which we will hear of much more in 2024 and beyond, that each defeat is a steal) but it can be the popular vote tallies sent in from the States and not the cumbersome results of the electoral college's december conventions. In the eighteenth century, militia warfare had an important place in the strategies of war---and helped our Revolution to free itself from the imperial designs of England. Yet, in this day and age of drone warfare and weapons of mass destruction, a militia of clodhoppers---brandishing their assault weapons, dressed in their cammies or like primitive shamans, and ready to storm some capitol in order to hang an elected official with whom they disagree---is so comic as to be ludicrously tragic. The chaos they cause, and we observed it well on January 6th, 2021, would collapse before a well trained invasive enemy with a good arsenal of highly technilogical weapons. So we really do not need a well armed militia, and therefore the second amendment needs, itself, to be amended. I should like to think that we are beginning to see the preparation for that process---as those same students who walked out of their classrooms all over the nation in protest will, very soon, be walking into the polling places to elect legislators and presidents who will carry out their will and not the policies of the National Rifle Association and the malicious ghosts of the Nazi party.

It is about gun sales and gun culture. We are killers, the last twelve or so wars and police actions against tiny nations taught us that. It is one solution - off the street, but illegal guns would flourish, military bring home souvenir guns, 2nd Amendment must be changed which could lead to a 2nd Civil War. usa-ers do not trust their government. Not that much. Post Floyd, post Rittenhouse, don't trust police either. Open carry legislation is growing. It's a power play until people of color lock & load - then . . .

That would be like banning religion in usa. Nuns would protest. Like correctng climate, we let it grow for too long unchecked. I am angry too because I see no answer. Congress is purchased! Minorities are supposed to have a voice, not ruled only. Hard times spark rebellion.
