People like Stephen King believe that our country is not enough like 1984.

[Texas Eagle]

Attention whore.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Ugly on the inside out.

[WellyP]

King is a smug “F”INF A-HOLE...... I KNOW!

[desertsolitaire]

Just not for the reasons he thinks he is right.

[silent majority rising]

Sadly, I wasted so much time reading his books. That time could have been better used.

[MNJohnnie]

400,000,000 guns and over a trillion rounds of ammo in private hands. Trust us Democrat Marxists propaganda bots, if gun ownership was the problem you would know it.

[AppyPappy]

For people who complain so much about gun violence, they sure do practice it a lot.

What - he wants to get rid of bolt action hunting rifles now. It was never about high capacity firearms - but giving them all to the government (and of course his personal security)

[Frank Drebin]

Thanks, Stephen. Hopefully they’ll stick to axes or flesh eating demon clowns next time. Go away pedo.

Hey, Stephen, were you hit and nearly killed by a distracted driver or van that somehow came to life and aimed for you? This ain’t Christine or Trucks.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

Its also another example of Trans Violence, Stephen. But you aren’t going to say that, are you?

[MtnClimber]

Dox him. Let him deal with snipers too.

[stanne]

“For someone that writes so many good stories “

No. His stories are horror. By definition. Nope

He has a public presence by virtue of selling a lot of books. He is using it here in an abusive way. He is not qualified nor elected to take a public stance on those situation.

[Segovia]

For people who complain so much about gun violence, they sure do practice it a lot.

now THAT is the truth.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

King is a psycho. All he writes about are horrible stories of bad evil things. There's a
sick mind there. If he wanted us to believe him, he'd eschew all his horror dross.

[nickcarraway]

His whole career is based on plagiarizing a man who is considered so racist he dead to be canceled 70 years after his death.

[adorno]

Stephen King can write good fiction, but he has no grasp of reality.

[z3n]

Look at the kind of stories he writes.

It doesn’t take a dime-store psychologist to see that he fantasizes about death and fear. Some people suggest he writes well, but I have never been a fan.

I would posit that King privately admires the shooter.
