I am a huge Stephen King fan. The truth is that I was inspired to write
after reading Christine. He is my favorite writer and not just horror.
While Guns was well written, and I expected nothing less, it sent the
wrong message. Not just one part of the book, but the entire thing was
off.
Stephen King first speaks about Rage and why he felt it
necessary to pull it from circulation. Whether or not he should have
pulled it is debatable, but at the end of the day he found it to be a
blueprint for high school shootings. Whether or not we need a book like
that out there again, is completely debatable. The book didn't kill
anyone, nor did it make someone commit a crime that they ordinarily
wouldn't have.
To restrict the amount of ammo that can be held in
a magazine, or any other type of gun control is unconstitutional and
shouldn't even be considered. King tried to avoid the politics of the
issue in his essay, and I can understand why he would. However, this
issue is completely political and cannot be explained properly without
that being the driving force of the point.
They are not trying to
outright take the guns, yet! But, they will strengthen gun laws and
locate the guns. Once they know where to find them they'll round them
up. They'll leave you vulnerable and defenseless. There is a more
sinister plan that follows, but I'm not going to get into that in this
review. Look up FEMA Camps and a lot of this will make sense.

Our
right to gun ownership is being threatened by a couple of shootings
that have a ton of questions surrounding them. Lies and coverups have
surrounded both cases. It's odd to me that so many lies have been told,
and we are talking about an elementary school shooting. The truth should
have been easy to tell and no reason to lie and withhold information.
The news outlets do not have to report the truth, and they don't.
We
are experiencing some of the toughest times in American history. Now is
not the time to take anything away, but there is never a right time to
be constitutionally violated. You have to stand up for your rights,
because your government isn't doing that. If you give up your
guns...you're giving up your freedom at the same time.
