I know the idea of more guns sounds crazy, but my novel, Gundown, explores a way to give us greater safety from gun violence through exactly that. The kicker lies in what kinds of guns there are more of.
I want to give you a copy.
Gundown imagines a near future in a state where citizens are subsidized in buying nonlethal defensive weapons while owning lethal firearms is a felony—and the gun industry backs it all the way.
Why? The profit motive, the motive that drives the gun industry and its rabid offspring, the NRA, today. Gundown provides a scenario in which the gun industry makes more money by getting rid of lethal firearms than by continuing to supply them. Don’t you think they’d go for that?
The book is free. I’m giving away ebooks in hope of stimulating new thinking on how to deal with gun violence. I don’t claim that my “solutions” are the best way to change things, but if the ideas in Gundown spark new ways to counter gun violence, that’s what I’m after.
You can download a free Kindle, epub, or PDF version here. A paperback is available at Amazon and other online vendors for cost, no profit made. I hope you’ll give it a look.
Thanks for listening.
