Quote: [...] people who’d have you believe that books are dangerous and assault rifles are safe [...]
That's a head-shot right there ... so to speak, of course.
Books certainly can be dangerous. Per Stalin quote Ideas are more powerful even than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas. Switch ideas for books and it's still valid as books like Das Kapital, Mein Kampf or Bible can attest.
Still, in general sense that's right, assault rifles are far more dangerous and books shouldn't be censorder but merely given professional commentary.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
