After news of the assassination attempt broke, King took to X, formerly Twitter, to share his thoughts. The horror writer is a vocal Trump critic, regularly criticizing the 78-year-old and his politics on social media.
"An AR-15 style semiautomatic rifle was used in the Butler shooting," King wrote on Sunday. "These are the guns the Republican party—and Trump—want to protect."
The user also said, "For a fiction writer, Stephen King knows little about this subject."
King replied: "Here's what I know, as a responsible gun owner: Those people would be alive and Trump would be unwounded if all that crazy kid had access to was a butcher knife.
