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.

Dear America: Here's Your Gun Solution


It's way overdue, but sooner rather than later, the worm will turn and the gun nuts will lose the gun "debate."  There is no debate really, because their nutty position is indefensible and not supported by the vast majority (90%-ish) of Americans.  Our moronic status quo exists only because it is propped up NRA money and craven conservative politicians too chicken-shit to act for fear of losing that money.

Click the link for a short, spot-on essay from Sara Benincasa, Dear America: Here's Your Gun Solution, which appeared today in Medium:

Her thoughts are quite similar to those expressed in these two posts from Buster, from October 2015 and January 2011.  Click and click again:
