President’s Gun Plan Raises Little Enthusiasm

Members of congress show little enthusiasm for President Obama’s plan to curb gun violence, including background checks and a ban on assault weapons. There’s some reluctance, it seems, to going against the NRA, which is opposed to the president’s measures.



        Ready, Fire, Aim

Not much enthusiasm, there,
For the president’s “anti-gun”.
Republicans all fail to see
Anti-NRA as fun.

Gun-toting voters want it known
They’ve worked hard to gain their skill.
And among the rights they all enjoy
Is the one that let’s them kill.

They wait all year to load up and go
After game both big and small;
They work hard at all their jobs
Just waiting for that call.

So they want us all to let them be
With their bullets, booze and jokes;
And hope and pray there never comes
Open season on real folks.
