*** in other words, black-on-black violence.***
Lots of country and Western music dealt with cheap guns.
I remember one by Waylon Jennings about an adulterous wife and he says “I slipped into a pawn shop and bought a little twenty two...”
And another comic song about a pair of binoculars that the singer is looking at in a pawn shop.. He tells what all he sees over town with them till he sees his neighbor slip into his home where his wife is...
“And as they pulled the shades down one by one,
I put the binoculars down and I bought me a gun...
Cedartown, Georgia.
I like the bass line.
In terms of storyline, Waylon took it a little too far.
