"One only wishes Wayne LaPierre and his NRA board of directors could be drafted to some of these [violent] 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."

So wrote horror writer Stephen King in a Kindle essay Friday entitled "Guns."


In fact, King himself had direct experience with this.

In 1977, under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, King published "Rage," a book about a Maine high school senior who kills his algebra teacher and holds the class hostage.

In subsequent years, numerous school murders occurred around the country with the assailants saying they had gotten the idea directly or loosely from "Rage."


As such, it seems preposterous that almost fourteen years later, King would say " to claim America's 'culture of violence' is responsible for school shootings is tantamount to cigarette company executives declaring that environmental pollution is the chief cause of cancer" or "It took more than one slim novel to cause [these teenagers] to do what they did."

But as I've stated for years, it takes a tremendous amount of rationalizations to be a liberal these days.

I am not suggesting that we limit the speech of authors.  However, if what we see, hear, or read has no impact on US, then the advertisers during the superbowl are getting romanced without a kiss.  They spend millions, for 30 second spots you might only see once, for what, if not to compell you to do something?

Wonder what warped lib will try and copy Dexter?

Typical liberal do as I say not as I do.
