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.

Gun Nuts!


A couple days ago, the NRA's Wayne LaPierre said, "If it's crazy to call for putting police and armed security in our schools to protect our children, then call me crazy."   As you wish, Wayne.  You are crazy!  Bat-shit fucking nuts!!

Arizona A.G. Tom Horne recently said that having an armed police officer in each school would be "ideal".   You, sir, are crazy too!

Ohio A.G. Mike DeWine said right after the Newtown massacre that boards of education should "seriously consider" hiring armed security guards at each school.  Mikey, you're in crazy territory!

And in the past day or so, I've noticed TV ads for the Westland Mall Gun Show, which starts tomorrow.  As always, the ads invite us to come to the show and "celebrate our 2nd Amendment rights!"  This event is run by C&E Gun Shows, Inc.  They allow both licensed and unlicensed dealers (private sellers) to buy a vendor's table for $68.  Licensed dealers must perform a background check on all would-be gun buyers.  But unlicensed dealers are exempt from this requirement and use it as a selling point.  This is the so-called "gun-show loophole".  There are roughly 5000 gun shows annually in the U.S., and it is this loophole which lets 40% of their sales to escape any background check.  This is just unbelievably, stupidly CRAZY!

Friggin' gun nuts!!  
"I'll protect you, sweetheart."
