Only PRO-RKBA song I can think of in rock:
"1976", by Grand Funk Railroad
(sample lyric: "Don't let them take your gun, in 1976")

Are there any other pro-RKBA songs in rock at all, other than from Ted Nugent and GFR?

"Don't Take Your Gun's to Town" J.C.
"Big Iron"-Marty Robbins
"Saturday Night Special"-Lynard Skynard
"Bad Habit"-Offspring
"The Trooper"-Iron Maiden
"Vote With A Bullet"-Corrosion of Conformity
"Battle of New Orleans" & "Sink the Bismark"-Johnny Horton
" Someone told me once that there's a right and wrong. Punishment was sure for those who dare to cross the line. Maybe it's just bullshit and I should play GOD and shoot you myself." Maynard James Keenan of Tool.

I always thought that was an anti-gun song.  Listen to the lyrics:

'Handguns are made for killin', ain't no good for nothing else'

And then says something about throwing them in the sea.
I think that 'Rock the Casbah' is an appropriate song these days.

"Interstate" by The Refreshments.

Well it doesn't matter
There aint no facts involved
Take it further
It doesn't matter
Well out here on the border
Ants drag bones across the hot dry ground
Told me there at the trailer park
They got a million souls at the lost and found

Well you should have known better
Dead thoughts and lost horizons
And to take it further
It don't get any better
Well out here on the border
Ain't nobody asking questions
No I don't need a miracle
But I could use a push in the right direction

Handgun and a bottle of Boons
And a 69' Ford and a new pair of shoes
Left from Boise Idaho 95
So when they crossed the state line
They were just in time to fall
Asleep at the wheel

Last back doesn't matter
Never was no facts involved
And to take it further
It never really matters
Well out here on the border
Ants drag bones across the hot dry ground
Told me there at the trailer park
They got a million souls at the lost and found

Handgun and a bottle of Boons
And a 69' Ford and a new pair of shoes
Left from Boise Idaho 95
So I was just in time to miss
The 5:00 o'clock news
Velvet black Interstate is something that appeals to me
$5.99 and a stone cold meal
I was feelin' just fine
And when I crossed the state line
I was just in time
To fall asleep at the wheel

The Refreshments also sang "Banditos."  It was a popular little ditty in the mid '90's.

Just how far down do you want to go
We can talk it out over a cup of joe
And you can look deep in my eyes
Like I was a super-model

Uh huh

It's just you and me baby
No one else we can trust
We'll say nuthin to no one
No how or we'll bust
Never crack a smile or flinch or cry
For nobody

Uh huh

So give your ID card to the border guard
Your alias says you Captain Jean Luc Picard
Of the United Federation of Planets
Cause they won't speak english any ways

Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So meet me at the mission at midnight
We'll divy up there
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So I got the pistol
So I get the Pesos

That seems fair

We'll put the sugar in the tank of the sheriff's car
Slash the deputy's tires
They won't get very far
When they finally get the word that there's been a hold-up
Uh huh

Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So meet me at the mission at midnight
We'll divy up there
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So I got the pistol
So I get the Pesos


That seems fair

That seems fair

Or, on their last album was Sin Nombre, one of my favorites:

Road hard and I put up wet, been down but I can't get up yet
It's a long ride back to the way I want to feel
Sun down across the plain, I've bee sore before I'll be sore again
No place to hide to keep from runnin'
Laid down in the cotton wood hollow though I left a trail that no man could follow,
Is it safe to rest my head again till morning
Cracked throat, my canteen's dry
Rain won't fall from an empty sky, so I whisper Hail Marys till the sun comes up

Now don't tell me that part of the story when the cowboy falls in love
When he traded in his pistol and his saddle and the stars above
When the candles burnin' down, when midnight comes around
Know the best that we could hope for is to be laughin' when we finally hit the ground

Road hard come down tired, stripped from the saddle when the rifle fired,
Deep in dreams of women and clean water
Well I did before what I'll do again
So forgive me father if I have sinned, but the old wood cracks before it bends

Now don't tell me that part of the story when the cowboy falls in love
When he traded in his pistol and his saddle and the stars above
When the candles burnin' down, when midnight comes around
Know the best that we could hope for is to be laughin' when we finally hit the ground

Now don't tell me that part of the story when the cowboy falls in love
When he traded in his pistol and his saddle and the stars above
When the candles burnin' down, when midnight comes around
Know the best that we could hope for is to be laughin'
When we finally hit the ground

The Refreshments are from Tempe, Arizona.  Kind of a down on their luck country rock band.  Banditos was their big hit.  Do a search on them and you'll find the unofficial pages and the music.

They broke up and reformed because one of their members was in and out of rehab for booze and drugs.

Guess what their new name is?

THE PEACEMAKERS

They have a unofficial pages as well.  I don't believe they've put out an album yet, but I've heard some of their songs when Napster was still up.

Good music.

Lemme know if anyone finds out that they have a disc coming out.  And I'd also like to know where to go for music (I wouldn't even mind paying a few bucks for each song I download, if I get my pick) now that Napster is dead.  Or is it?  I haven't been there in a while....

Slayer's "Point"

Mucho good hardcore rock and roll.....

POINT
I'm the one that brings you war
Infiltrate unguarded shores
Master of afflicting pain
Point is where all die

Lead - King

I'm the one to taste your blood
Trashing through the crimson mud
Messenger of all demise
Point is where I reign
Piercing, impaling, no judgment, just punishment
Discreate, annihilate assault with no regret
I'm the one to taste your death
Basking in your dying breath
Messenger of all demise
Point is where all die
Piercing, impaling no judgment, just punishment
Discreate, annihilate assault with no regret
Born to kill sweep and clear
Staring down the face of fear
Shrapnel flies dehumanize
Flesh and blood will fertilize
Empty all the magazines
Lethal burst from M-16's
Pace the march and sing the song
Right the fuck where I belong
Stained in blood

No fear - no sound

Penetrate your holy ground
Leave you where your comrades lie
Point is where all die
Pure destruction has begun
Fearlessly the battle's won
Spread extinction through the dawn
Signature of wrath is spawned
Minister of death unleashed
My lust for war will never cease
With no remorse I watch you die
Body count's the bottom line
Crashing slashing to the end
Your final pulse has just been spent
Leave you where your comrades lie
Point is where all fucking die

Lead - Hanneman

Crashing slashing to the end
Your final pulse has just been spent
Leave you where your comrades lie
Stained in blood

No fear - no pain - no life

Lead - King

Clouded skies rain only death
Silence all opposing threats
Quench the hunger of my gun
Exploding cities overrun
I'm the one to taste your death
Basking in your dying breath
Messenger of all demise
Point is where all die

They have 2 records out, one studio, one live, and they're wroking on a new studio one due out "sometime soon".

Their official site is [url]http://www.azpeacemakers.com[/url].
I saw 'em back in August, and they put on a killer show, even played a bunch of old Refreshments songs.

The Refreshments were a great band, too bad the guitar player is/was too drugged out to go on.  He was a great player too.

OK for those of you who can stand rap, "No Holds Barred" by Sir Mixalot has gotta be the most RKBA song around.

If you like punk music and you can find it, check out Guns by D.I.  

If anyone wants the MP3 version, let me know.

Warren Zevon wrote it and sang it, but it's been covered by a lot of people, Rick Derringer, for one.

Derringer? Gun? Oh, lawdy.... :^)
