THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS A BAD GUY WITH A GUN
IS A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN
A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN
THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS A BAD GUY WITH A GUN
IS A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN
AND BACKGROUND CHECKS
AND A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN
 
THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS A BAD GUY WITH A GUN
IS A GOOD GUY WITH A LAW DEGREE
WHO USES IT TO CLOSE GUN SHOW LOOPHOLES
AND ANOTHER THING THAT STOPS A BAD GUY WITH A GUN
IS A BAN ON SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS
COMPREHENSIVE MENTAL HEALTH CARE
AND A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN
 
“A well regulated Militia being necessary
to the security of a free State
the right of the people
to keep and bear Arms
shall not be infringed”
 
AS YOU CAN SEE THERE’S NO ROOM FOR INTERPRETATION
A MILITIA THAT IS REGULATED, DON’T NEED NO REGULATION
SURE, A BAD GUY WITH A GUN CAN CAUSE A LOTTA DEVASTATION
SO YOU’RE GONNA NEED A GOOD GUY LIKE ME
OR THE OTHER FIFTY FIVE MILLION AMERICAN
HEROES WITH GUNS
 
THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS A BAD GUY WITH A GUN
IS A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN
LIKE THE THREE PERCENT OF AMERICANS WHO OWN HALF THE GUNS IN THE USA
THE ONLY THING THAT STOPS A BAD GUY WITH A GUN
IS A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN
AND BACKGROUND CHECKS
AND CLOSING GUN SHOW LOOPHOLES
A BAN ON SEMI-AUTOMATIC WEAPONS
COMPREHENSIVE MENTAL HEALTH CARE
MANDATORY WAITING PERIODS
COMMON SENSE REFORM INSTEAD OF THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
LABELING THE NRA 
AS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION
AND DON’T FORGET
A GOOD GUY, YES A GOOD GUY WITH A GUN

"Peace" Ravi Coltrane/Geri Allen
