Welcome to Buster's Blog

Irregular commentary on whatever's on my mind -- politics, sports, current events, and life in general. After twenty years of writing business and community newsletters, fifteen years of fantasy baseball newsletters, and two years of email "columns", this is, I suppose, the inevitable result: the awful conceit that someone might actually care to read what I have to say. Posts may be added often, rarely, or never again. As always, my mood and motivation are unpredictable.

No Gun Problem Here


This morning, a civilian contractor working at the Washington D.C. Navy Yard brought a semi-automatic assault rifle, a shotgun and a handgun to work with him and began to open fire.  He killed 12 and wounded others before being killed himself.  His motive is unknown.  He had a concealed-carry license from Texas and a prior arrest for unlawful discharge of a firearm.  He may have had an accomplice.

But we don't have a gun problem here in America.  Not at all.  No problem with mass shooting after mass shooting.  No problem with easy access to military-grade weapons and ammo.  No problem with ineffective, lax background checks.  No problem with nut-jobs walking around in society armed to the fucking teeth.  No problem with spineless lawmakers afraid to take on the NRA.

Nope, it's all good.  No gun problem here.
