The gun control group backed by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced a new initiative last week designed to harness the power of the literary community to amplify the gun safety movement.
The new Everytown Authors Council is composed of 130 authors, illustrators and others deeply connected to the literary community who have joined the group to help support their work.
We stand united and will work to reach more people, recruit more supporters and achieve more victories, says the pledge signed by the authors, which supports expanded background checks and secure gun storage. While these are just the first steps, we pledge to use our voices wherever and whenever we can, doing our part to help mobilize more Americans to help save lives from gun violence.
Jodi Picoult, who used to write DC Comics Wonder Woman, says she joined the council as writers are singularly suited to speak out on the need for common-sense gun laws, and Our job as writers is to get people to engage and to start talking and this is a conversation we as a nation badly need to have.

Good grief!
One of the comments at link:
NRA announces list of 4.25-million members pledged to fight gun control.
This Ping List is for all things pertaining to the 2nd Amendment.
FReepmail me if you want to be added to or deleted from the list.
So no more guns in movies and comics, right?
Great! Because everyone knows that after a night of gangbanging.....The Bloods & Crips want to settle in with a good book and some herbal tea.
3 Million Members of M.A.D.D., thus no one should have vehicles.
Not on the list. Still have a lot of guns and bombs in my books.
How? By putting up more “Gun Free Zone” signs?
Perhaps on the cover.
Fight Gun Violence == Disarming Law Abiding Citizens to Lawful Self-Defense
List at the link. I was going to copy it over but why give them the publicity? I recognized precisely one name on it anyway. And she’s a hack.
What about D.A.M.M*?
(*Drunks Against M.A.D.D. Mothers... hat-tip to Joe Bob Briggs at the Movies circra 1985)
I bet Seth Anderson Bailey is not on that list.
>>What about D.A.M.M*?

Let’s cut to the chase: K.D.C.D.* against all humans!
*KillDozer/Christine/Duel
and here I thought I was the ONLY one who remembered KILLDOZER! Ha!
Reminds me of years ago when several people were murdered in San Francisco. No guns involved.
The mayor at that time immediately called for more gun control to prevent such crimes in the future.
"Keep guns and bombs out of the reach of children?"
***Gun Free Zone signs?***
Like some did back in 1968 during the riots. Didn’t last long.
Yeah. I looked, and oddly, Peter Capstick, Mel Tappan, Jeff Cooper, and Massad Ayoob aren't either. Probably just an oversight.
So, the people most responsible for the glorification of gun violence are signing a petition against......gun violence.
