A thought-provoking political poem about gun control in America. |
Most guns are owned in America today by White men, who claim they have this right granted under the Second Amendment. Few of them qualify as “well-regulated militia.” Small wonder! The majority of Americans favor more gun control. The NRA have their bought-off Congressmen stonewall and risk public disfavor, blocking modest controls to preserve their payoff. White men control government offices of power. White men carrying guns are viewed as patriots, as agents for protection due to their firepower ... but not their minority-race compatriots. Instead, Blacks and Hispanics toting guns are feared, considered dangerous, viewed with alarm by Whites and police both. Open carry laws so revered by Whites can raise troubles for Black men to new heights. It seems Whites want themselves to be free to carry guns in public but feel threatened if Blacks do so. Hmmm, gun control advocates might use this scary situation to get controls passed, don’t you know. If some national group provided all Black men with assault rifles to carry around with them, Whites would be too scared to go outside their house then. Chances of not passing gun controls would become slim. All those Bubbas who feel packing guns is their right would suddenly demand gun controls overnight!
