[Vision2020] "If I Only Had a Gun"

[lfalen]

My computer has bee down for two weeks, so I am just now going through my email and doing mostly deletes.
In regard to Pitts's poem, I am not a big fan of open carry, but concealed carry is fine. There you have to have had some training and presumably know a little bit about gun safety. The people in the 
south wanted to disarm the Negroes because that made it easier and safer for them to bully negroes. The Deacons for Defense were armed and said "If you shout at us we will shoot back"  Ida B. Wells as well as others were also armed and for good reason.

"If I Only Had a Gun" (words by Leonard Pitts Jr.)
Sung to the tune "If I Only Had a Heart" from the Wizard of Oz


"When a man's an empty holster, no courage does he bolster
No confidence is won
What a difference he'd be makin', he could finally stop his quakin'
If he only had a gun
He could stand a little straighter with that ultimate persuader
And wouldn't that be fun?
He could put an end to static with a semiautomatic
If he only had a gun
Can't you see, how it would be?
Woe would avoid his door
The crazy guy would pass him by
Or else he'd shoot - and shoot some more
Oh, the shootin' he'd be doin', and all the ballyhooin'
The way the folks would run
His life would be so merry in a world of open carry
If he only had a gun."

But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill."
