amendment #2 ratified in 1791

Yes, you do have the right to keep and bear arms. 

Yes, it is an outdated amendment by two hundred and thirty years.

And yes, it needs to be updated because of all the lethal harms.

 

A home with a dad who likes to hunt and a suicidal son.

Dad is out, easy access, and a negative thought has just begun.

 

Homes with guns are 43 times more likely to be used to kill a friend or family member than a burglar or other criminal and that’s just a fact. 

Now suicidal son will do as exact. 

 

Dad only had it to hunt, and he’d never hurt a fly,

But having the gun in the house is the same thing as someone deathly saying bye-bye.

 

Someone is going to kill the innocents and or use the gun,

And what do we do as country, continue to teach our people for fun.

 

But it’s all okay because we have the right to bear arms. It’s a right under the constitution! 

Tell that to all the dead children and innocents… American revolution?
