Stephen King risks wrath of NRA by releasing pro-gun control essay[/b][b]Bestselling author and gun owner says 'autos and semi-autos are weapons of mass destruction' in 25-page work for Kindle King, who owns three handguns, aimed the expletive-peppered polemic at fellow gun-owners, calling on them to support a ban on automatic and semi-automatic weapons in the wake of the December shooting at Sandy Hook elementary school, which left 20 children and six adults dead.
"Autos and semi-autos are weapons of mass destruction. When lunatics want to make war on the unarmed and unprepared, these are the weapons they use," King wrote.
He said blanket opposition to gun control was less about defending the second amendment of the US Constitution than "a stubborn desire to hold onto what they have, and to hell with the collateral damage". He added : "If that's the case, let me suggest that 'f*ck you, Jack, I'm okay' is not a tenable position, morally speaking." emphases added

If you want to find protest, look for conservatives. If you want violence, look for the union label.

Many people in the United States have been hit by brainwashing.
They really need to STFU until their minds recover.

They really need to STFU until their minds recover. Your optimism is laudable, for I, on the other hand, do not believe recovery to be even the remotest of possibilities.

...King need to really STFU. Yes, we really do need to consider abridging the First Amendment, but first on the priority list is to do away with the Second.
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
