As long as there are guns, the individual that wants a gun for a crime is going to have one and going to get it. The only person who's going to be penalized and have difficulty is the law-abiding citizen, who then cannot have it if he wants protection-the protection of a weapon in his home, for home protection.

Protection
Night after night
I keep holding on
You say you love me
Then you leave me so lonely
Baby, I dont believe a word
Youre sayin
I think its all some evil game
Youre playin
Still all day long all I do is think
About ya
You got me believin that I cant
Live without ya
Well if ya want it, well here is
My confession
Baby, I cant help it, youre my obsession
Protection, thats what I need
I need protection, baby from your love
Protection, thats what I need
I need protection, baby from your love
I wait at home by my telephone
When I call your house, baby
Youre not home
Knock on the door and rush
Down the stairs
When I open up, baby youre
Not there
When were together and ya put
Your arms around me
Your love sweeps away all the
Confusion that surrounds me
You keep my mind
Forever, ever in doubt
You want me believin
That baby, I cant live without
Protection thats what I need
I need protection, baby from your love
Protection, thats what I need
I need protection, baby from your love
We stand alone, at my window
And stare out, at the shadows
Down below
I feel your fingers on my face
I want to stay, I want to run away
Protection thats what I need
I need protection, baby from your love
Protection, thats what I need
I need protection, baby from your love
Protection, thats what I need
I need protection, baby from your love
Protection, thats what I need
I need protection, baby from your love...

I Need Protection
Oh, I need protection
Nothing is safe and,
Nothing is truly sacred,
If you want to stay alive,
Keep your body from the undertakers.
Sing out!
Oh, I need protection.
Have you ever had a threat?
Have you ever had [call / cold] [pause to make] stare?
You can see it on tv,
From the pleasing safety of your armchair.
Sing out!
Oh, I need protection.
When it slap you in the face,
Will you take [down] [far / barth] to consi? der
What will you do,
When he says to you, stand, deliver?
Will you take to your heels,
And fight to brazen your features?
Yeah, it wont go away,
With just one click of your fingers.
Sing out!
Oh, I need protection

Soul Protection
Johnnys got a job
Spreading the cure
Self employed
Hes a one man crusade
We want to give you your soul protection
Something inside
Big mistake
Spread the word
To the new generation
We want to give you your soul protection
One more night
One more dream
One more time
One more scream
One more heart
One more name
One more chance
For your soul protection.
Johnnys got pride
Ill pay it all back
Now he calls it
the poetry of motion
We want to give you your soul protection
Listen to this
This is life
Listen to your heart
And youre living under clock law
We want to give you your soul protection
Hide your fear
Hide your shame
Hide your tears
And hide your pain
Hide your face
Hide your name
Hide your need
For your soul protection
Everybodys scared
Big glass house
Dont throw stones
At your soul protection
We want to give you your soul protection
Johnnys got faith
Prays to god
Mention love
And he calls it nostalgia
We want to give you your soul protection.

How Is a Protection Done?
How is a protection done,
When what is being defended
Is attired is confusing beliefs...
Fostering fear
And nurtured by games,
Aimed with precision to spot enemies!
Disguised terrains depicted,
In high glossed technicolor...
Once clearly evolved from black and white
Images!
Assisted by graphs and lifestyles twisted!
Toy guns gifted with radar...
To lift and expose foes from where they are!
Even at night when surprise attacks,
Uncover those sleeping.
Unprepared to be blown from sacks.
Some without shacks to call home!
How is a protection done...
When a false existence,
Creates distance
And a persistence of determined rivalries.
On shores where ancient histories,
Are stripped of truth
To allow the inciting of troops to boost,
Ideals failing!
How is a protection done...
When the source of these conflicts
Ails with a mental disease! ?
Very few perceive this that way!
How is a protection done successfully...
With expectations to overcome,
With a peace understood?
When the very air we breathe,
Continues to pollute concepts believed!
How is a protection done,
When everyone is taught deception...
And defeat of humanity!

The Free Trader's Lament
Oft from a trading-boat I purchased spice
And shells and corals, brought for my inspection
From the fair tropics-paid a Christian price
And was content in my fool's paradise,
Where never had been heard the word 'Protection.'
'T was my sole island; there I dwelt alone
No customs-house, collector nor collection,
But a man came, who, in a pious tone
Condoled with me that I had never known
The manifest advantage of Protection.
So, when the trading-boat arrived one day,
He threw a stink-pot into its mid-section.
The traders paddled for their lives away,
Nor came again into that haunted bay,
The blessed home thereafter of Protection.
Then down he sat, that philanthropic man,
And spat upon some mud of his selection,
And worked it, with his knuckles in a pan,
To shapes of shells and coral things, and span
A thread of song in glory of Protection.
He baked them in the sun. His air devout
Enchanted me. I made a genuflexion:
'God help you, gentle sir,' I said. 'No doubt,'
He answered gravely, 'I'll get on without
Assistance now that we have got Protection.'
Thenceforth I bought his wares-at what a price
For shells and corals of such imperfection!
'Ah, now,' said he, 'your lot is truly nice.'
But still in all that isle there was no spice
To season to my taste that dish, Protection.

Protection
We don't need protection from terrorists anymore.
What we protection from is never-ending war.
Protect us from the propaganda.
Proect us from the lies.
Protect us from the legislation
set up to tyrannize.
Protect us from the vaccines
that cause more harm than good.
Protect us from the violence
that comes from Hollywood.
Protect us from injustice
emanating from the courts.
Protect our kids from drug enhancements
while they're playing sports.
Protect us from illegals taking all our jobs.
Protect us from the gangs and all the angry mobs.
Protect us from the wealthy who never have enough.
The terrorists are not coming.
It's time to call their bluff.
We don't need protection from terrorists anymore.
What we need protection from is right within our shore.

Watchdogs
You try to close your ears
And you try to close your eyes
But the blasphemies keep coming
Tempting you lies
(chorus)
Give thanks for you protection
Your watchdogs of the night
Who hold the hungry wolves at bay
And keep them out of sight, out of sight
You just don't understand it
But it strikes a distant chord
So you look for away of escaping
And sanity's restored
(chorus)
Give thanks for your protection
Your .......
You focus your direction
Cloak tightly pulled around
But somewhere in the distance
You can hear a haunting sound
(chorus)
Give thanks for your protection
Your .......
You're in danger of corruption
And you're always running scaerd
You cannot make decisions
You're completely unprepared
(chorus)
Give thanks for your protection
Your .......

Public Safety
You have no 'constitutional' rights,
To police protection.
The police are there to uphold the 'law'.
Public safety...
That's all!
And 'if' it has been determined,
That 'law' has been broken...
Guess who is going to jail?
That is certain.
Those 'laws' will prevail!
People yelling, 'Protect me and mine! '
Will find themselves ignored,
Most of the time!
Police are trained to deal with you psychologically...
However,
Your individual needs...
Are not theirs to feed!
Your rights to protect yourself is best.
And that's why the streets are full of such unrest!
IF you have problems with this as it is...
Know what those laws are!
And why crime has risen...
Bringing folks to tears.
And your individual feelings,
Are not part of constitutional business!
You have no 'constitutional' rights,
To police protection.
The police are there to uphold the 'law'.
Public safety...
That's all!
And your taxes 'may' be used,
To fill a pothole!

In addition, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act provides protection for those in the firearms industry from lawsuits arising out of the criminal or unlawful acts of people who misuse their products.
There are, for example, exemptions in FOIA in which the government can withhold certain kinds of information, and the courts have recognized that there is certain documentation that do deserve protection, that certain privileges do apply and do deserve protection.

The Right To…
The right to affection
Is not your right for, deception
The right to be loved and understood
Do you think you, could
The right to a name
Is my right with no fame
The right to nationality
With a true sense of reality
The right to free education
With little frustration
For me or the nation
Cause
We all need an education
The right to protection against all forms of neglect
So we can all have some self-respect
The right to protection against cruelty and exploitation
Is not the right to alienation
