The Gun Compromise

What to do about gun control let me count the ways
The details of assault rifle and magazine clips
Are what everyone says
But overflowing thoughts leap to my lips?
The discussion rages in every bar and joint
Always the talk is details
And that misses the point.
Mass killing depends
On weapon loading speed
And that is the message
On which I would plead
On the musket the 2nd amendment spoke
A weapon against tyranny
It bellowed with smoke
The weapon was long and clumsy
Loading slow - more than one stroke
Yet one great Empire
History did smote.
What lessons of details
Has the musket lay bare
The details are loading speed
But lessons are understood so rare.
A militia requires numbers many
While today a survivalist is any
Right or wrong individual that
Buys power from loading speed
When he or she feels the need
And may just do the deed
Because of the problem
That I believe is loading speed
I have called out the problem
With clarity hoping to be good
The power to solve it is not with me
But with the politicians that should
Look at the past details in order to see
The compromise requires a political seed
sown into the country's mind
About weapon loading speed.
