Open the presents one by one,
Little Johnny's got a little toy gun,
Johnny, Johnny, put that down,
You don't know, you're army bound.
Mama, oh mama, take it away,
Johnny will grow to kill some day.
Mothers and you Fathers, give common toys,
Not killing toys to little boys.
They'll grow to hurt, grow to maim.
Give them things to play in peace,
And maybe some day all wars will cease.
Take this to the world so wide,
No more wars and genocide.
Give only gifts of love,of joy, of fun...
Don't give no more killing guns.
Pleas don't give no more killing guns.

Try and find a Harvey Andrews song calles 'Buy me a rifle Daddy'.

It's one of the best anti buying weapons song that I know.

(And its the first time I've thought of it in fifteen year).

He recorded it in the sixties.

This reminds me of a tragedy from my high-school days. One of my classmates was given a hunting rifle on his 16th birthday - a gift from his dad. His father was showing him how the clean the gun, and it went off and killed the kid.

I won't allow a gun in my home to this day.
