"Guns" - Stephen King Confronts NRA Members Head On Calling For Greater Gun Control | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 33028811 United States 01/26/2013 07:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yeah, because criminals and maniacs obey gun laws, and because a raped woman strangled dead with her own pantyhose is morally superior to a live woman standing over the dead body of her would-be rapist after she shot him. Not to mention that the FBI statistics show that more people are murdered each year with baseball bats than guns, and more children die in swimming pools than from firearms, and that the "child" gun injury statistics include 20+ year old gang members. Or that the rich and powerful can always afford armed security when the poor can't, and that the rich and powerful can live in safe neighborhoods when the poor can't, or that NO police officer has the responsibility to stop crime or criminals or risk their life in the defense of anyone else. And I haven't even gotten into the 200 million people slaughtered in the 20th century by their own governments after they were first legally disarmed. Fuck you, Stephen - you're a traitor not only to your country, but to humanity itself. Oh and P.S. - how many children did that 200 million dead include? And why does Hitler, Stalin, Mao and every other communist totalitarian in history agree with you? :: spit :: |

He is a shell of his former self since getting hit by a driver while out for a walk near his home in Maine. He was lucky to live but not lucky enough to recover fully. [link to articles.cnn.com] Also the guy who ran him over turned up dead about 1 year later. [link to abcnews.go.com] Steve is one of them. |

*StarMan* (OP) User ID: 32896473 Australia 01/26/2013 09:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Guns" can be purchased here for 99 cents - [link to www.amazon.com] Amazon.com Review There are a handful of subjects in America so emotional and polarizing that the national dialogue around them amounts to little more than a shouting match. Chief among these is the subject of guns. In this intimate and moving Kindle Single, Stephen King employs all his gifts as writer and citizen to address gun violence in America. But why should we care what Stephen King has to say? As it turns out, there are a number of reasons. Despite his "liberal creds," King is an unapologetic gun owner himself. He is also the author of a novel--published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman--that has served as a "possible accelerant" for at least four real-life high school shooters. King had his publisher take that book off the market long ago, but the guns and the occasional bursts of unfathomable violence remain. When division is everywhere, is it possible for someone to argue passionately for the middle road? That is what King seeks to do here--this is a frank and thoughtful contribution to a dialogue in dire need of voices from the "all-but-deserted middle." --Chris Schluep Light Speed |

In his book, "Between Two Ages," Brzezinski wrote: "The technetronic era involves the gradual appearance of a more controlled society. Such a society would be dominated by an elite, unrestrained by traditional values." MuzzleBreak |

It was as if he couldn't see demons were real, not some fictional horror story he could control. He was ranting and raving, like he thought his words would/could make a difference. |
