My goodness, it’s fucking hot right now. I’m in my apartment sweating like mad. But I realize it’s been a long time since we’ve spoken. I just had to take a few minutes and write out a couple thoughts.

First, file this under “You heard it here first.” Chris Rock once said the way to end gun violence was to make bullets so expensive that people would have to take a second job and save up for weeks before buying them. That way they would think real hard about who they spent that much time and money shooting.

Chris Rock was on to something. I say we ban bullets. There is nothing in the Constitution about having bullets. Only guns. Ban bullets and people can’t shoot each other. Maybe allow some exemption for bullets that can only be fired from hunting rifles (a nod to my redneck friends and relatives), but ban anything that can be fired from a handgun. Eventually bullets will be so expensive, Chris Rock’s dream will be realized.

Join the crusade. Ban bullets.

Here’s something else. I recently paid $30 for a Brooklyn Cyclones hat while at their Coney Island stadium for a game. The hat was made in China, presumably to save money. I don’t see why that had to be done. Anyone who can’t make a profit on a line of $30 baseball hats, while paying American workers union wages and paying US taxes, does not deserve to be in business. I mean, who needs to cut costs when you can sell a fucking baseball cap for $30?
