Stephen King releases an essay on gun reform.

A quote:

"Plenty of gun advocates cling to their semi-automatics the way Amy Winehouse and Michael Jackson clung to the shit that was killing them."

Mr King will be receiving a special Sluttylemon star on the next podcast.

Oh what fun.

Ninety-Nine cents just to read the essay?

Isn't the King rich enough?

Isn't the store with the smile on the box charitable enough?

Oh wonderful, I can borrow it for free and read it on my Kindle. 

While browsing for replicas of real guns (free shipping!) during reading breaks (it's a long essay).

It pays to Prime.

Every year, I think I won't, but I re-sub in the holiday season.

Gun cabinets, too, are available now.

I could purchase one and leave it empty, but for my thoughts on guns.

Of which I have many and lock them away.

I've had enough of guns for a long while.

Awhile ago I was held at gunpoint.

The cold metal tip of the gun touched my forehead.

This is true. It wasn't even semi-automatic.

I wrote an imperfect poem about

  • the gun
  • gender identity
  • what it meant to hold that gun
  • for the broken man who wielded it
  • and the man who wept to see it.
