Stephen King Blames The Gun For Murders Of MN Legislator And Her Husband

Stephen King is famous for making up tall tales. From “Salem’s Lot” – a tale about politicians sucking the lifeblood out of Maine locals (just kidding) – to “Christine” (a story reminiscent of Richard Matheson’s legendary “Duel”) with its possessed, self-driving car, he’s spun words better than many political speechwriters to deliver pretend messages that have thrilled and chilled missions.

But, like so many other ill-informed or uninformed Americans, Mr. King just took a page out of his own fictive universe to callously lay the blame for multiple homicide on, you got it, an inanimate object: the tool that the alleged killer used.
