Top 10: Songs about guns

Well, it's Year of the Gun. For the first time in history the Supreme Court has defined the Second Amendment as defending every Tom, Dick and Hillary's right to own a gun — not just Militia persons, which is how the amendment reads to me:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

If everyone is going to be armed to the teeth, though, why not me? Any suggestions? Anyway, here are some songs that celebrate our country's rather disturbing fascination with firearms.

Top 10: Songs about guns

1. "Happiness is a Warm Gun," The Beatles

2. "Time to Get a Gun," Fred Eaglesmith

3. "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner," Warren Zevon

4. "Lawyers, Guns and Money," Warren Zevon

5. "Pistol Packin' Papa," Jimmie Rodgers

6. "Machine Gun," Jimi Hendrix

7. "Gun," Uncle Tupelo

8. "Me and My Girlfriend," 2Pac

9. "Big Iron," Marty Robbins

10. "Shotgun," Lightnin' Hopkins

WHAT DID I MISS?

Good call. Dig Earle's original and the one Waylon Jennings did for one of the Highwaymen albums.

Wade, you own a gun?!?!? Ha! You'd probably shoot your dick off trying to load it. The same way you write.

idiotwind: Great call on "Bang Bang (My baby Shot Me Down.) Nancy Sinatra does a nice version, too. But my fave is the one by Dylan's buddy Jack White's band The Raconteurs. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xhGnuHuD5Fc

Buildings are expensive and not every person is able to buy it. But, mortgage loans are invented to help different people in such kind of situations.
