National Rifle Association Annual Meeting 2013

Did I attend? … I plead the 5^th.
Am I a member? … I plead the 5^th.
However, I can say that the meeting was well-​organized, the exhibits good (but crowded).
The people were very polite, and look like the kind that would stop and help you change a tire.
The sentiment of the Saturday crowd (not that I was there) inspired me to write a parody of the song «I am Sixteen, Going on Seventeen» from the Sound of Music:
AR 15 going on ex-​tinct
Baby it’s time to think
Better beware
Be canny and careful
Baby we’re on the brink
You are dangerous some say to Congress
Who think guns cause evil deeds
Second Amendment
Isn’t what they want
Ban arms and save the keeds
Totally unprepared are you
To face a world’s danger
Backwards and dumb are fools like you
Government will protect a stranger
You need someone
On the left whose wiser
Telling you what to do
A Central Authority run by minority
We’ll take care of you
(Leisl)
It’s a sick scene going on severing
I know that they’re naïve
Fellows I meet may complain and tweet
And willingly they believe
I am 16 going on 17 innocent as a rose
Only watch TV
And guns in the movies
What do I know of those
Totally unprepared am I
To face a world of crime
Idealists and ignorant are they
Of things beyond their time
We need someone
Older and wiser
Telling us what to do
Our Founders and U.S. Constitution
I’ll depend on you
