In this USA Today piece:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2012/12/14/connecticut-school-shoo...

...author Glen Reynolds opens with:
""After a shooting spree," author William Burroughs once said, "they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it." Burroughs continued: "I sure as hell wouldn't want to live in a society where the only people allowed guns are the police and the military.""

Is this the same William S. Burroughs who wrote Naked Lunch? I think so.
