Stephen King: Hey, isn't it time for guns to be regulated like booze and tobacco?

That can’t be. Not according to author Stephen King.

Multiple gunshot wounds last night at Red Rocks. We regulator booze and tobacco; it's time to regulate firearms.

Whoa. Imagine if we had an agency — perhaps a “bureau” — that focused on alcohol, tobacco and firearms regulations. Mr. King, you’re blowing our minds!

@StephenKing Really? We have the Bureau of Alcohol (check), Tobacco (check), and firearms (check). That seems to cover the aformentioned.

BATFE? “@StephenKing: Multiple gunshot wounds last night at Red Rocks. We regulator booze and tobacco; it’s time to regulate firearms.”

@StephenKing they're already heavily regulated… Stick to your day job

@StephenKing proof of age *ONLY* to buy any strength gun I want? Sure, I'm all for gun purchase = liquor purchase. @TwitchyTeam

@StephenKing Hi. Don't know if you were aware but we have a plethora of gun laws and regulations on the books already.

Oh, he knows. Last year, King published a sanctimonious 8,000 word essay calling for more gun control measures. At least the gun-grabbing gunslinger got the character count down this time.

And hey, he even kind of managed to get in a plug for one of his books. Or a typo. One of those.

@StephenKing We should also regulator auto-correct. It gets in the way of even the most gifted writers. 🙂
