King released the essay entitled simply “Guns” exclusively through Amazon’s digital Kindle platform, where it is for sale for 99 cents. The essay begins with King’s acerbic, step-by-step summary of the way mass shootings are covered by the media and play out in the public debate: the initial scramble for details – often later proven incorrect – and footage, the ensuing non-stop coverage of funerals and community grieving, the “talking head” analyses and the political rhetoric as calls for gun control are met with staunch opposition from pro-gun
