Long after the disarming
To disrupt, damage and kill
I own a gun
As I own all my tools;
Responsibly, respectfully and
rightfully.
I own a gun
Because our freedom still stands
And our flag still
waves.
God Bless America!

Amen!
I own a couple swords - close enough?
Great post!
Freedom still stands, God Bless America!
I agree, Amen....I own a grumpy Shih -Tuz :), Francine.
gun ownership is our right. i do think better background checks are a good thing, though. and restricting high capacity clip weapons, too.
Good for you. The only way to safe.
Amen again!
Nice poem.
As others have said, Amen!
It's different here in Canada about guns but back in old days on the farm my dad and I used to go hunting and I was firing a shot gun at 8 years old . My how times have changed ! Where there is a will there is a way ! Thanks for sharing . Have a good day !
We have our freedom here in the Netherlands too, but it does not involve owning guns. I don't see what the one has to do with the other.
Amen, I own mine proudly and respectfully too! Well said, Gail!
Great post, Gail. You know where we stand.
God bless and have a wonderful Thursday. ♥

I wish people did not need to own guns! But my brothers and sister-in-laws do too, and I pray they and you will never need to use them. This poem rocks, though, with fine lines and rhymes and conscious values. I too love the USA.
I am owned by 3 nasty little chihuahuas, will that do?

I agree with your first stanza. Crazies will find a way, no matter what. I understand what you say here.
As a Canadian, however, I cannot understand the relationship between flag-waving and gun-owning, because the two are not related in our culture.
A good write, however.

my Mountain man agrees, I will always respect the right ro responsible ownership and walk with a BIG dog. :)
... and I respect your right to own one!!!
So do we....several...all shapes and sizes!...:)JP
Me too! Great poem!
I own a sword and two big dogs!
I'm perplexed. Who is trying to disarm you? And what has that to do with our freedom?
Not sure, but in California no one is trying to take our guns from us...just get them registered and for buyer's of weapons to be registered and have a background check... and I can see already a backlog where that is concerned. I guess it's a start.
As you say, the crazies will find a way!
As far as the right to own a gun..I don't feel threatened at this time. But..I inherited mine..I didn't buy them.
I understand that they are trying to make a dent in the crimes committed with guns..but...like you, I would defend my right to defend myself and my family!
Is there an answer? Not really.
Unfortunately...not really..
