The only role gun owners had, if any at all, was to make sure the library moved it from the history section to the fiction shelves.

FWIW, our local library chose to take several copies they had off the shelves and return them to the publisher for a credit.

I'm pretty sure they replaced it on the shelves with autographed copies of the "Big Blue Book of Gun Values", with Wayne LaPierre's picture on the cover.

But you know all those academics and librarians are all just NRA shills anyway.
