Read by Christian Rummel.

OVERVIEW: In a pulls-no-punches essay intended to provoke rational discussion, Stephen King sets down his thoughts about gun violence in America. Anger and grief in the wake of the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School are palpable in this urgent piece of writing, but no less remarkable are King's keen thoughtfulness and composure as he explores the contours of the gun-control issue and constructs his argument for what can and should be done. King's earnings from the sale of this essay will go to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.

FROM AMAZON PRESS RELEASE - Jan. 25, 2013.

I think the issue of an America awash in guns is one every citizen has to think about, said King. If this helps provoke constructive debate, I’ve done my job. Once I finished writing GUNS I wanted it published quickly, and Kindle Singles provided an excellent fit.

It’s exciting to offer a way for a brilliant writer like (Stephen) King to publish quickly, and to reach a large audience of loyal readers and new customers, said David Blum, editor of Kindle Singles. King finished this essay last Friday morning, and by that night we had accepted it and scheduled for publication today.

Stephen King is the author of 11/22/63, Under the Dome, Carrie, The Shining, and many other bestselling works.
