I love real books, paper books, but I also love buying online, and I think that people are more willing to take a chance to read something if it’s cheaper – sometimes books on the Kindle are $6. A hardback book is $25. For $25, it better be a really great book. Or you’re going to be mad.
Unless they’re a fugitive or a felon, or adjudicated mentally ill, we’re not against them buying guns at all.
