Everytown announces list of 130 authors pledged to fight gun violence.
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.”https://everytown.org/authors-council/
Everytown for Gun Safety—the largest gun violence prevention non-profit in the country with more than three million supporters has joined with a consortium of acclaimed authors to launch the Everytown Authors Council.
Enjoy your unintended consequences.

Never heard of any of them. Doubtless a bunch of losers who went to a vanity publisher and paid to have a few dozen copies made of "Why I love cats" or similar works.
ReplyDeletewho are they?
ReplyDeleteWho are they? People that will never get my money.
ReplyDeleteWhile I only recognized only one author, not reading an author because of their politics makes me uneasy. Isn't this what the puppy-kickers do? I also recognize the impulse/desire not to support enemies of the second amendment. Sometimes I think the internet gives us too much information.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Brad Meltzer do stuff on the History Channel? Does he know he is on this list?
ReplyDeleteThe difference is they self identify as haters of the 2nd. Keep your opinions to yourself and all is well. I don't spend money in store that have gun free zone signs either.
ReplyDeleteI only recognize one name on the list of losers.
ReplyDeleteI recognize a couple or three. Third-tier mystery and romance novelists is my guess.
ReplyDeleteI only recognize a couple of them. I think I managed to get through one book by one of the authors and decided to not bother with her work again.
ReplyDeleteThe more important question: How many of those authors show gun violence in their books? Are they like the Hollywood people who say they are against guns yet make movies glorifying them?
