The Lyrics

Utah had 24 state symbols, from tree (the blue spruce) to insect (the honeybee) to even cooking pot (the Dutch oven). Now it's added an official state firearm -- the John M. Browning-designed M1911 pistol, becoming the first state in the nation to have one, according to the state legislator who sponsored the law. Utah Gov. Gary Herbert signed the new symbol into law this week. State Rep. Carl Wimmer, a Republican who was a police officer and SWAT team commander, came up with the idea for a state firearm last year after hearing about how Pennsylvania lawmakers wanted to make the Pennsylvania long rifle its official state firearm, Wimmer told CNN on Friday. That measure eventually failed, he said. Wimmer selected the semi-automatic M1911 because gun maker Browning was born and raised in Ogden, Utah, and was the son of Utah pioneers who crossed the plains in the 1800s, Wimmer said. This year is also the 100th anniversary of when the U.S. military chose the M1911 to be its standard-issue sidearm for all branches of service, Wimmer said. That's how the pistol got its name: "M" for military and 1911 for the year that the military began issuing the gun to all its servicemen and women, Wimmer said.
State Firearm controversy true
Browning design

You better not push this law through
I ain’t lyin’
Gun deaths are climbin’

You know people can’t stand it
M1911 still around
For exactly a century
John Moses Browning would be proud

State Firearm controversy true
Browning design
100 years, fine

Utah loves you
Utah loves you
Utah loves you
Now a State symbol
And I don’t care
If you don’t like history
M1911 will still be around

Utah controversy
State Firearm controversy true
Browning design
(M1911 has place in history)

Personally, I stay the hell away from firearms and explosives, and military weapons, not because I hate them, but because I have a very strong fear of them. :-o, But that won't keep me from giving 5's for this parody or others like it though! :-)

If California had a state firearm it would be a pink water pistol made from recycled plastic soda bottles and loaded with Perrier. I owned a 1911 once, made in China by Norinco. Should have kept it. Maybe I can save up for a Philippine copy with the Owl Head logo.
