Boston, you’re my home

This screen grab is from :35 into the video. That’s Justin Kuo on the right, helping a runner moments after the blasts. The years I’ve run the Boston Marathon, Justin provided me with an application form.

When the NRA gets its way…

This is the NRA’s vision for all of America.

Guns and nuts

I needed to take a break from blogging, but there are some interesting things going on in the background via e-mail that will probably appear here.

Before disappearing again so I can start working on the taxes, I’d like to say that after listening to this week’s self-servicing blathering by Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association, he has a point about mental health and guns. Because any private citizen who wants to own an assault rifle with a 30- or 100-round ammo clip is nuts.

Elmer Fudd says, “I’m the NRA”

Twenty five years ago, when the NRA had a public relations campaign featuring some famous people saying “I’m the NRA,” I drew this cartoon for the Comics Buyer’s Guide, with a famous gun enthusiast that the NRA had neglected to include. Elmer J. Fudd.

From what is known so far, Adam Lanza had access to the guns he used in slaughtering a classroom full of children because his mother apparently thought the way that Wayne LaPierre wants everybody to think. The NRA’s position is “you can’t beat us, so join us,” and I resolutely, absolutely refuse to accept that.
