    They came for us one afternoon, and they took away the guns They said we didn't need 'em to defend our wives and sons They smiled and laughed and left us, we watched them ride away It would make life safer, at least that's what folks say. And their jackboots all were polished, and their uniforms were neat They all were so polite that day, they smiled so bright and sweet They looked just like the boy next door, they did it all so well They looked a lot like you and me, we did it to ourselves. The next thing that they came for was to take away the books They took 'em out and burned 'em without a second look The reading was seditious, it taught us to do wrong Pornography and treason, and wicked little songs. They rounded up the jews one day, the liberals went next They locked up all the loonies from the weird religious sects It never made the papers, it was a thing they had to hide And then they closed the borders and locked us all inside. And their jackboots all were polished, and their uniforms were neat They all were so polite that day, they smiled so bright and sweet They looked just like the boy next door, they did it all so well They looked a lot like you and me, we did it to ourselves. Don't criticize the President, he does the best he can Don't criticize the Governor, the cop, or Congress man For if you do, you're spreading hate - get up against the wall If you're smart you simply won't say anything at all. Don't believe in that religion, it doesn't fit the plan The government knows what's best for you, each woman and each man Uncle Sam's become Big Brother, he's watching every day They said it couldn't happen here, it happened anyway. And their jackboots all were polished, and their uniforms were neat They all were so polite that day, they smiled so bright and sweet They looked just like the boy next door, they did it all so well They looked a lot like you and me, we did it to ourselves. The newspapers got smaller, and the taxes got real high The talk-show hosts all disappeared, the TV news went dry They took away our modems, they monitored our phones They took our kids to school one day, and didn't bring 'em home. They took away our freedoms in the name of peace and love They gave us our security held in an iron glove When was the last election, I cannot tell you, son Ask the ones that let it happen when they took away the guns.

          thinking you're the only people who own guns is another funny part of the conservative fantasy.

            Owning a gun ain't the same as shooting a gun... And most liberals will only guns until they're mandated to turn them in. The ones that don't comply are on our side anyway, so it all comes out in the wash.

                  Why would I apologize? Oh wait, I have some examples... "I'm sorry I didn't kill you with the first shot. I really didn't want to use a 2nd bullet." "I'm sorry you zig-zagged. Now, you're only gonna to die tired." "I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you right. You're from where, and you're here to help who?"

                      My sister is a liberal (and she's going to vote for Obama - *again*). Earlier this year, she decided she needed a shotgun and a pistol for home defense. I put the question to her, "If the federal or state government says you have to turn in your guns for your own safety, would you do it?" She answered, "Yes, of course". There's a guy here at work, an ex-cop and a liberal. I asked him the same question. I got the same answer. From someone that should know better. Fantasy? I think not.

                                "Saturday Night Special" implies a cheap gun used for criminal endeavors. None of my guns qualify as such. :)

                                  Why would I apologize? Oh wait, I have some examples... "I'm sorry I didn't kill you with the first shot. I really didn't want to use a 2nd bullet." "I'm sorry you zig-zagged. Now, you're only gonna to die tired." "I'm sorry, I don't think I heard you right. You're from where, and you're here to help who?"

                                      I see that you don't get wound up too easily. Oh well. Never mind: worth a try. Thought I'd tease you a bit about your post the other day.

                                        So, am I a little bit less of a dick in your eyes because I didn't take the bait? :)

                                          There are so many ways to answer that. I'm spoilt for choice. Instead I'll just ask if you'd care?
