Bless me readers for it has been eight days since my last post and I am heartily sorry for my transgression. My pennance will be to watch the three hour Republican Presidential debate on CNN tonight, yours will be to suffer my opinions on it later. Honestly the election shtick has been a tad boring. Rick Perry dropped out, but that's not news. The fact he was running as a man under criminal indictment in Texas for alleged misdeeds while Governor is news but you couldn't tell it by the media coverage or his opponents complete silence on it.

The answer is yes if all fifty states and territories were properly reporting all of the data they are supposed to and there were no loopholes in buying a gun. He still would have ach...
