wearing my six shooter...riding shotgun for the Texas Rangers...
Lynyrd Skynyrd has a few
Mr. 38 Special
Mr. 38 Special, you got a barrel that's a blue and cold.
Ya aint good for nuttin' cept put a man 6' in a hole.
....
Now handguns are made for killin'
They aint no good for nuttin else
And if you like to drink your whiskey
You might even shoot yourself.
Actually, that's Mr. Saturday Night Special, Skynyrds anti gun song
Being the OP, you're quite right, don't care if it's pro or anti gun, just that it's a darn good song, and that one is.I stand corrected and have corrected my post....
No requirement for the song to be pro-gun given in OP
Politics aside, it's a great song... as is everything else Skynyrd did
Isn't a song a poem set to music?Probably several hundred songs that make a reference to a gun of some kind. I wonder how many poems make a reference to firearms. I'm not big on poetry but I can't think of any.
Well, if you're going there how about Whiskey in the Jar.

That was my first thought. It's also my go to song when some A-hole decides to tell me I'm wrong when I call a revolver a pistol since the lyrics "I jumped up fired my pistols and I shot him with both barrels" predate the revolver by a good bit.
