My dear rifle

My dear rifle
I love it so
It ain't for shooting deer
Don't you know?

Let's be blunt
It's for shooting tyrants
For protecting liberty
You can kill me
But 'til then I'm free

Yeah, you can come and take it
If you dare
But let me warn you
I'm a well-armed bear

Signed,

An American

I can't wait for the sequel thread: My Dear AR-15
