I don't know, these are the same guys who wrote "Saturday Night Special," the most anti-gun song I ever heard.

Clemenza, my friend... read on... from a Sept 2004 article...

http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04270/384277.stm

The Bush-Cheney ticket is not without its supporters, some of them Confederate flag-waving Southern rockers. Lynyrd Skynyrd, ZZ Top, Dickey Betts and Kid Rock all played the Republican National Convention, indicating that Kerry could have a rough ride in the South.

"There are Democrats in Lynyrd Skynyrd, too," says singer Johnny Van Zant. "Not everyone's Republican. But I think everyone wants to do something for Bush, whether they're Republican or not. For me personally, I think he's had the hardest job of anyone who's ever been the president of the United States, 'cause none of them faced what the hell he faced -- except maybe Lincoln, with the country being divided itself."

Are you sure? I always kind of saw it as an anti-bad-behavior song. Even from your view, it's pretty specific about hand guns.

Two feets they come a creepin’
Like a black cat do
And two bodies are lyin’ naked
Creeper think he got nothin’ to lose
So he creeps into this house, yeah
And unlocks the door
And while a man reaching for his trousers
Shoots him full of .38 holes

Its a saturday night special
Got a barrel that’s blue and cold
Ain’t no good for nothin’
But put a man six feet in a hole

Big jim’s been drinkin’ whiskey
And playing poker on a losin’ night
Pretty soon, big jim starts a thinkin’
Somebody been cheatin’ and lyin’
So big jim commences to fightin’
I wouldn’t tell you no lie
And big jim done grab his pistol
Shot his friend right between the eyes

Hand guns are made for killin’
Ain’t no good for nothin’ else
And if you like your whiskey
You might even shoot yourself
So why don’t we dump ’em people
To the bottom of the sea
Before some fool come around here
Wanna shoot either you or me
