NRA threatens Iran with 'swamp folks' and 'gator' wrestlers in dis track

The National Rifle Association (NRA) tells the "ayatollahs of Iran" to "listen up" to a new ultra-nationalist dis track featuring country music has-been Charlie Daniels.

"You might have met our fresh-faced flower child president and his weak-kneed, Ivy League friends,” croons the bearded old feller who probably really needs the dough, “But you haven't met America."

“I'm the National Rifle Association of America, and I'm Freedom's Safest Place.”

WAIT. WUT. What does that–but–nevermind.

More lyrics from this masterpiece:

You haven't met the heartland, or the people who will defend this nation with their bloody, calloused, bare hands, if that's what it takes.

You haven't met the steelworkers and the hard-rock miners, or the swamp folks in Cajun country who can wrestle a full-grown gator out of the water.

You haven't met the farmers, the cowboys, the loggers and the truck drivers. You don't know the mountain men who live off the land, or the brave cops who fight the good fight in the urban war zones.
