Moms Against Guns-- Motherhood Eclipsed by Activism  
( Mother's Day limericks)(du20000514-01)
    The moms-against-guns claim statistics 
    are proof we need anti-gun fixes
    Their glib use of stats 
    obscures the real facts 
    about which they're cleverly picky
    As part of their mantra they say ...  
    that "thirteen kids die ev'ry day,
    Because there are not 
    enough trigger-locks ... " 
    as if that's the accident rate.
    But all but a few of those deaths 
    are products of criminal quests
    And crime-deaths are not 
    prevented by locks 
    'cause thugs don't make safety their test
    The accident rate they don't say-- 
    It's less than one every four days
    Of course that is bad, 
    but what is more sad?  
    That air-bags killed one-fifty-eight !
    And why did those air-bag deaths happen? 
    The gov'ment required us to have 'em !
    And how did we lose 
    the freedom to choose 
    our own way to have self-protection?
    It started with such good intentions 
    soon after the seat-belt's invention
    Some wouldn't choose 
    their seat-belts to use, 
    so then we got air-bag mandation.
    Like those who presumed air-bags best, 
    the anti-gun moms won't confess
    That really their goal 
    is that we be told 
    just how we should care for ourselves
    Those anti-gun moms love statistics ...  
    except those that show they're complicit:
    Few kids do crime 
    with mothers full-time 
    unlike those whose moms are careerists.
    And since very few kids do crimes 
    when raised by their mothers full-time
    More could be saved 
    if more moms would say 
    "I'll put my kids first all the time"
    It's clear that such one simple choice 
    by more moms to heed nature's voice
    Would save far more lives 
    than all the things tried 
    since day-care became their first choice.
    The much lower rate of youth crime 
    was when most moms mothered full-time
    All children thirst 
    to have Mama first 
    instead of just "quality" time
    I'm thankful my wife said to me:  
    "A mother full-time I will be."
    And she had no fear 
    to quit her career 
    so she could fulfill our kids' needs.
    And so to those mothers whose voice 
    is loudest in favor of choice
    I recommend 
    the place to begin 
    is listening to nature's own voice.
    If follower-moms would just stop 
    behaving like sheep in a flock
    They won't need to guess 
    to know what is best 
    to help their kids get to the top.
    The number of kids this would save 
    would vastly exceed their parade
    More would receive 
    the love that they need 
    and fewer would go to their graves.
    Of course moms aren't solely to blame 
    'cause fathers deserve lots of blame
    Many beget 
    and then just forget 
    and leave their poor offspring in shame. 
    Too many lasses and lads 
    have fathers but never have dads
    They just plant their seed, 
    then gutlessly leave 
    their kids to be lonely and sad.
    The view we must bring back again 
    is no-wedlock births are a shame.
    To fight the good fight, 
    admit Quayle was right, 
    and never mock daddies again.
