Rage has been out of print for a long time. I read it when I was in high school, but since my daddy took me out shooting starting at age 10 and taught me to respect guns and how to handle them safely, the guns lost those mysterious and magical properties that seduce hormonal teenage white males into shooting up schools, so I was generally unmoved by Rage and actually a bit disturbed by it.
I feel sorry for the leftist perverts whose daddies didn't take them out shooting and teach them to respect guns and handle them safely, and that think that they will be safer if a law abiding citizen like me doesn't possess them.
Hoplophobia is a horrible, crippling disease.
Seek help *******s.
I just gave you a rep for your earlier post, since it made me laugh... but now I see you're just another mud-slinging name-calling immature poster. Welcome, you will be in good company here!
P.S. How do you jump from "not learning how to shoot" (many liberals actually DO - and even own guns themselves) to "perverts?" I didn't know guns were a sexual thing, but it actually doesn't surprise me.
Stephen King recently bloviated about the NRA and its propoer role post-shooting, but a little research reveals that King, in 1977, under the pseudonym Richard Bachman, 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 or from "Rage."
Ehm - "Rage" isn't in any way sympathetic to the shooter. It is, in fact, a peek into the psyche of a seriously broken individual (several of them, if memory serves). There's a whole subculture based on the trope of "the guy with the gun is the cool individual in control" - heck, it's pretty much the motto that the NRA and its gunmaker sponsors base their marketing on - and NewsBusters singles out an obscure short-story that portrays the exact opposite ? That's not just grasping for straws. That's grasping for straws that aren't even there.
Then again, if they want to establish moral equivalence, they could follow in Stephen King's footprints, shoulder a bit of responsibility and voluntarily remove their product from the shelves.

Not interested? Nah, I didn't f.cking think so.
Where do you get the absurd notion that the NRA stands for sociopathic lunatics holding people hostage with a gun as being "cool individuals in control".
Now all law abiding gun owners in this country are wanna-be hostage takers seeking to "take control"?
I think the bedwetting hoplophobic gun-grabbers are the ones with these deep-seated neuroses and can't stand the fact that people that disagree with them politically (read: RWNJ) have the means to defend against their plans for a violent bolshevik revolution to create a unicorn dust worker's paradise socialist utopia. Stop projecting your irrational hoplophobic thoughts onto law abiding citizens.
Don't you have some bourgeoisie skulls to bash in?

Owning a gun doesn't make you brave and using quack terms doesn't make you educated.
