he suggested attacks with "automatic weapons” will continue until the NRA allows the passage of more gun control.

King’s exact tweet: "No one wants to ban private gun ownership, but the automatic weapons murders will continue until the NRA agrees to reasonable controls.”

All "scary" looking guns are fully automatic to idiots.

IIRC he is a gun owner himself, but he is the type that think that everything but the type that he owns should be banned and confiscated.

He's either stupid or being intentionally misleading. I'm guessing it's the latter, so that other mindless idiots will read what he's said and repeat it.

Doesn't Stephen King have a large NFA MG collection?
Nope.

What guy was it that has that huge NFA MG collection and is a rabid Anti civilian gun guy?

That is probably a good guess. Many of the talking heads aren't as dumb as they seem to be, but they know there are many times when they can say whatever they want, and the mindless drones will eat it up and dismiss any rebuttal.

Mr. King,

We ventured past reasonable, and into UNreasonable gun control, in 1934.

And since nobody seems to have received the message, its not the NRA. It's America that is done with "compromise".

He always wrote unoriginal crap. No wonder he lacks the ability to differentiate between automatic weapons and the semi=auto weapons the NRA supports. With respect to his standing in American literature, I don't think the history will be kind.

Huh let em think they're full auto, then tell we just passed National Firearm Act 1934, now shut the fuck up!

Posted: 11/29/2015 6:11:52 PM EDT

[#18]

Automatic, semiautomatic -- it's all the same to the antigunners.

If they're all the same, there's no rational basis for a distinction. Therefore, repeal the NFA and treat machine guns the same as semiautomatics.

The logic works both ways.

"No one wants to take away your hunting rifles. No one wants to take away your shotguns. No one wants to take away your revolvers, and no one wants to take away your automatic pistols, as long as said pistols hold no more than ten rounds. If you can't kill a home invader (or your wife, up in the middle of the night to get a snack from the fridge) with ten shots, you need to go back to the local shooting range."

View Quote

"How paranoid do you want to be? How many guns does it take to make you feel safe? And how do you simultaneously keep them loaded and close at hand, but still out of reach of your inquisitive children or grandchildren? Are you sure you wouldn't do better with a really good burglar alarm? It's true you have to remember to set the darn thing before you go to bed, but think of this — if you happened to mistake your wife or live-in partner for a crazed drug addict, you couldn't shoot her with a burglar alarm."

With King the ancient argument of "cars kill more people than guns" actually might hit home. You'd think he'd be more vocal for vehicle control.

Then again he'd just call that an evil strawman argument, then lock himself in his study and in a week write a shoddy horror novel about an evil strawman who eats babies.

What a fucktard! As if the gunman couldn't have done the same thing with Joe Biden's shotgun. He could easily have ran up a higher body count with a car.

Thanks to asshats like him in Hollywood, half the world is convinced that everything with a pistol grip is fully automatic.

Discussing technical specifics with anti-gunners is pointless. They don't give a shit about facts. Whatever scares people into supporting their cause is all that matters hence the "should everyone have a bazooka or a nuclear weapon?!" horseshit whenever the 2nd Amendment is brought up.

Their goal is to spread fear among people who don't know the difference, period. If shootings are done with shotguns, they come up with reasons why shotguns are super scary. If shootings are done with bolt action hunting rifles, they call them sniper rifles. If shootings are done with handguns, they talk magazine capacity.

They will ALWAYS find a way to demonize guns, no matter what type is used. Anyone who thinks they'll only go after specific types is a fucking idiot.

if stephen king really cared about making a difference, he would stop writing books until they passed a law making murder illegal.

...oh, they already did yet people are still murdered every weekend in Chicago? How exactly is the NRA at fault here ?!?

Give old Tom a break.. he's been a dead a while now. At one point he was a great author. I guess it goes to show you that it's a rare person who doesn't peak in their career.

Steven was the master of the short story. Some of his stories still give me the creeps years later. He's always had a hard-on for gun control though. A lot of his books practically drip with scorn for firearms and the people that use them. It's a case where I wish he would just shut up and write scary stories but I think he can't separate personal bias from a good story anymore.

They're trying to create the illusion that the NRA is a corporate lobbying group just like the pharmaceutical lobbyists, big banking lobbyists, etc.

They want people to believe that "even gun owners support gun control but the evil NRA lobbyists don't represent them."

This is the same guy who wrote a story that featured a semi-automatic .44 magnum Ruger pistol, so I'd assume his firearm knowledge isn't the greatest.

When Steven King got hit by a car it was the cars fault. Not the driver then right?.
The driver was given a car that in fact had an automatic transmission

making it easier for novice or mentally ill drivers to wield 4000lb killing machines. Just like no car needs more than a 6 gallon gas tank.
That alone would have saved both Mr King and the victim behind the wheel that ran him over from that car that was made by greedy car makers and sold by unscrupulous car dealers, handing them out like candy to children and the mentally ill, making it easy for them to be able to run over anyone in their path by putting automatic accessories in them...with one goal in mind; to make them more user friendly to killers (victims).
The AAA is what helps to prevent "sensible car safety laws" that put these automatic killing machines like the one that hurt Mr King on the road.
This is the same ill-logic that Mr King is using on guns that can be applied to cars. He needs to stick with writing bloody horror movies that inspire serial killers.

On the scanner it was well stated that they believed they were receiving "automatic fire" from an ak47 variant. There was an open Mic moment that sounded like a FA two way range.
