The Children's Self Defense League

Written
1993

 Say there, NRA, armorer of the nation,

         your task is not complete.

My right, nay obligation, to bear arms

      makes me safe.

Each day I strap on my piece and go forth

      sure of self defense.

My wife safe at home with her assault rifle 

       and her traveling pistol

       easy in her purse.

My shot gun in the cab window

      speaks clearly to the rude.

We go everywhere assured

      of protection

      from the evil people.

But, by neglect or oversight,

      you armed only some of the children.

Those not protected

      are getting killed

       at a very rapid rate.

A child also has a birth right

       to bear arms.

Moreover, not having the protection 

       of blazing masculine steel

       is to become an endanger child.

A derringer to each new born

       as they leave the hospital would do.

Do your constitutional duty.

Arm all children so they too

      can be assured of their future.

 

 

 

Notes
This was written in great anger. I have a strong belief in the right of hunters to have hunting rifles And I guess I don't mind side arms in the country side. But assault rifles and guns for city life a made me angry. I wrote this and friends did not like it so I have not looked at it since 1993. Article 2 and militias? We sure do arm a lot of crazies.
