Story Behind The Song
As Christmas 2021 approached there were news items related to certain right-wing politicians who shared Christmas cards which were pictures of them and family all posing with guns - some really big and deadly guns! I found this to be very profane and this song was my my way of dealing with that.

Lyrics
V1:
All I really want for Christmas is an AR15.
Happy Birthday, Jesus!
Maybe with a bump stock and a hundred-round clip.
Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus!
V2:
'Cause nothing says "Christmas" like a shiny, new gun.
And if Antifa comes around here I'll have lots of fun!
What I really want for Christmas is an AR15.
Happy Birthday, Jesus!
Instrumental
V3:
One for Johnny, one for Sue.
I know my wife, she'll sure want one too.
Don't forget Grandma, I can't wait to see
The smile on her face when it's under the tree!
All I really want for Christmas is an AR15.
Happy Birthday, Jesus!
Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus!
