Best-selling author and gun owner Stephen King has written a 25-page essay, Guns
[The NRA] will deflect attention from guns and propose expanding access to mental health services, stationing guards in schools, and of course clamping down on the media's glorification of violence. "One only wishes [NRA Executive VIce President and CEO] Wayne LaPierre and his NRA board of directors could be drafted to some of these [school shooting] scenes, where they would be required to put on booties and rubber gloves and help clean up the blood, the brains, and the chunks of intestine still containing the poor wads of half-digested food that were some innocent bystander's last meal," King writes. Maybe then they'll focus less on the make-believe death in media and the very real destruction that open access to military-style weapons can cause.
