Wow, I have always been a big fan of David Morrell's books. He is the author of First Blood, but also a whole lot of outstanding other books. This post was on his Facebook page today. Very disappointing...
"As the creator of Rambo in my novel FIRST BLOOD, as a gun owner and someone who has extensive training with firearms, I endorse stricter regulation. A thirty-day waiting period with a much more thorough background check is a good start. If someone is convicted twice of DWI, it's a sign of addiction and lack of control--no guns. If someone is convicted of domestic abuse--no guns. We don't need more guns in the US and certainly not in schools. What we need is more responsible owners. The weird NRA speech today made me wonder how a minority of extremists can dictate to the majority of citizens."
