In practically all the fiction books I read.... [View all]

[fadedrose]

there are detectives, cops, PI's, doctors, nurses, and just regular folks like Agatha Raisin (England) who are looking for a place to have a cigarette and can't find anywhere to smoke legally. This is the case in EVERY dam country the stories take place in - the characters are suffering a real loss.

These same people can carry guns, shoot the wrong people, etc., but they can keep their guns.

Authors have helped the no-smoking ban by writing about it in fiction books in one form or another, complaining about it but NOT opposing it or suggesting it be revoked. If they didn't fear the NRA, their fiction could go along way in doing some good in changing gun control laws....
