Republicans’ twisted obsession with the Second Amendment
Is hurtful during normal times
Gets in the way of reasonable gun legislation
As American killing fields continue to rise
But now the Republican Party is rotten with insurrectionists
So the gun fetish takes new light
Crazies now driving cross-country with guns
To join some political fight
And congressmen egg them on
Pose family photos with all their guns
Talk about using the Second Amendment
To keep those liberals on the run
Casual banter of killing fellow Americans
Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks this is swell
Politics turning a fearful corner
Welcome to the gates of hell
The second amendment says:
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Hmmm, a well regulated Militia, in service to the Country
As opposed to the recently indicted Oath Keepers militia
Who are traitors, to put it bluntly
In the Framers’ day, militias mustered to serve the State
Today they’re mostly white supremacist groups spewing hate
Doubtful the Framers would think today’s militias serve good purpose
Or are necessary to secure the State
They’d see today’s militias for what they are
Violent insurrectionists within our gates
The second amendment is not a suicide pact
Everybody doesn’t need to be packing heat
And you shouldn’t be able to carry any weapon you want
When you’re walking city streets
I can see Kyle Rittenhouse being cleared of murder charges
But what about the guy who bought the AR-15 for Kyle, who was a minor
And why was a minor in possession of a gun he can’t legally buy playing cross-state vigilante
If that shit’s all legal, than maybe some laws need to change
Look, I got guns
I’m for hunting and for sport
I’m for protecting households
But not terroristic retort
Like surrounding state offices with gun-toting rednecks
Because your candidate lost
A clear and present danger to democracy
Can’t you see the awful cost?
We need more restrictions on guns in this country
Lucky I live Hawaii, which is strict
I just hope the Supreme Court doesn’t fuck it up
With more Second Amendment bullshit
