This is part of the modern, toxic, trend. Project it out a little. How many times have the Kroger's directors heard that handguns are for only one thing?

Magazines like American Handgunner can't be far behind magazines about assault rifles.

But, really, those magazines fail when it comes to glorifying mayhem. They are too concerned with safety and range performance to well serve evil.

Novels, on the other hand, some of them, certainly glorify killing. Surely, using what I guess to be Kroger's reasoning, books should pass some form of screening. Free speech, surely, would not be infringed if there were reasonable steps to protect children from improper ideas. Who would want, I imagine the Kroger's board eventually saying, their kids to be at the mercy of unregistered authors and unlicensed publishers?

Writers are known to cower in the shadows. Many of them glorify anonymity with assumed, hard to trace, names. They even glorify their intellectual sniper's roosts with euphemisms. They don't use fake names, they use pen names. They don't attack from the shadows, they say they use nom de plumes.

Clearly, I imagine in a Kroger's press release, there is no place in reasonable society for this behavior.

Stockpile marshmallows. Book burnings might not be that far off.

Censorship. Very ugly.
