Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
…..and that pretty much sums up life in America.
1Chris Rock — Bullets should cost $5,000

2Sell? Buying bullets is for cowards. Let them go where the bullets are issued, if they can pass the education and physical requirements to earn a military uniform. Not too worried about any of those incels lasting a week much less long enough to earn & learn anything beyond peeling potatoes.
3If gun insurance was as expensive as health insurance, that might make a dent.
4Papa@4, that’s why we need all of the good suggestions. Insurance will prevent a number of deaths, as will background checks, etc. But no one measure alone will solve the problem. Pricey insurance won’t stop the affluenza afflicted incels which is why a ban on military or assault style weapons is also needed. They can’t buy what isn’t available.
5This is a simply elegant solution. No second amendment abridgment involved. Since auto insurance is mandated so should medical and weapon insurance be required.
6Papa@4 – that probably is the very best. I can guarantee insurance companies will be doing extensive background checks before insuring.
7Jane & PKM @ 5,
Military assault weapons are just that. Meant to kill masses of people. They should only be available and used by the military.
8I had to pay $50 extra on my homeowners policy for my 8 pound dog. “Risk and liability factors sir.”
But a gun? No risk or liability there?
9I had already posed an idea about the bullets: that they would be a “controlled substance” and the purchaser would have to sign for them.. I like taking it further, as suggested here, to make them terribly expensive. Or maybe a prescription. At least the gun collecter could have as many as he or she wants to.
10When country clubs start getting shot up Republicanites will suddenly cozy up to gun control. But not until then.
11Country clubs? You mean like Mar A Lago? You might have something there. I thought gun control would bloom in this country when Congressmen trying to play softball were shot. Evidently they do not consider themselves worth saving.

Or in their water-front 9 bathroom Faux French Chalets. Even guards paid on the really cheap and 8 foot chain link fences, won’t protect them while they keep the US safe for cocktail parties. A few close and in-their-face encounters on their private property with an angry incel just might change their minds. I think we’ll be waiting awhile for Lady Karma though…
13I suggested to someone once that guns be unregulated as the NRA demands, but that we regulate the hell out of bullets. He said that wouldn’t work because it’s not that hard to make bullets. Though these days it’s not that hard to make guns either.
