Arming Congress With Plastic Glocks
(Or guns of their choosing)

It's been suggested we arm Congress with Glocks,
A brilliant idea that could shorten debates
And end vitriolic mad rantings and ravings.
Back off ten paces and kaput those he hates.

It's one thing to train them to be pretty good shots,
But can Seniors be taught to be quick on the draw?
And how quick is fast enough when they're up against
Arizonans unhampered by any gun law?

So how good a shot must must a Congressman be
When the distance he's shooting at's nearly point blank?
But if he's the suprisee and not the surprisor,
It will be reaction times that he's hoping to thank.

But this is America. We have freedom of choice.
Will all members be happy with an Austrian Glock?
When it doesn't explode in the hands of a shooter,
It sure beats the hell out of partisan talk.

But plastic is plastic and accidents happen.
And who wants to risk a Glock that might explode?
Only the crazies who'd shoot up the Congress,
Or members of Congress without time to reload.
