Mr. President, assault rifles, and the toughest son-of-a-bitch on the planet...

Multi-genre author, mostly Crime fiction. Scottish. Been writing longer than I’ve been wearing big boy’s trousers.
Dear Mr. President,
I remember reading the other day about you saying something like we needed to be tougher on the gun lobby.
Pardon my French…but that sounds like lame fucking bullshit.
You’re the President of the United Fucking States, sir.
You’re the Man.
You’re legally the toughest (although ageing) son-of-a-bitch on the planet.
Don’t just talk…ACT.
Isn’t about time you showed those who voted you in that your bite is a damned sight worse that your bark?
Isn’t it about time you put lives before votes?
Isn’t about time you stuck it to all those Rambo assault rifle nuts and showed them who’s really the boss?
Isn’t about time you protected our kids? Protected our future?
You KNOW that assault rifles don’t belong in the hands of the general public.
Too damned risky.
Not without putting in checks and balances way up the wazoo and back again. Twice.
Better still…not without getting the damned things completely off the streets.
Whatever the effort. Whatever the cost.
You KNOW that anyone who says different is just holding onto their ass and harbouring a tragedy waiting to happen.
You seem like someone who isn’t prepared to put up with any shit.
You seem like someone who knows when it’s time to do the right thing.
Well…IT’S TIME TO DO THE RIGHT THING RIGHT NOW!!

You’re a father.
You’ve lost children.
You KNOW what that feels like.
You’re a great leader of a great country.
A country with, sadly, a cancer that’s eating it up.
Mr. President…
It’s time to grow some bigger cojones, and cut the damned thing out…

The above is an extract from my as yet unpublished (and mostly unwritten) book Ad Interruptus.
Like its sisters Ad Lib, and Ad Infinitum (NOW AVAILABLE), it's about creativity, advertising, life, and lots of stuff in between.
You'll find Ad Infinitum, Ad Lib, and Ad Hoc on Amazon, along with my other books, Love & Coffee and Heaven Help Us. In print and ebook. Waiting for you.
And the wonderful thing about all three Ad books is… it doesn’t matter where you finish any chapter or episode.
Because it will always be pretty damned close to where you started it…

So grab a coffee, grab a chair, and grab a sneaky peek.
Then grab a copy...now!

2 年Sadly Bryce, I think Biden would be hard pressed to change his incontinence pads, let alone the laws or constitution. Congress (the finest body of men and women money can buy) are the key. The problem is that they are, for the most part, owned by big business, lobby groups, the NRA and a buttock clenching terror of losing their seat and having their snouts unceremoniously hoiked out of the trough. So they will sit on their loathsome spotty behinds, squeezing blackheads and send 'thoughts and prayers', declare that 'something should be done' to appease the masses and ... nothing will be done. It's a cruel world.
