Books are MUCH MORE DANGEROUS because they educate and enlighten. Those not wanting educated and enlightened citizens, are not going to defend books nearly as often as they would defend firearms ownership, particularly their own.

I'm stating this here and I AM a firearms owner. However, I'm also an educated and enlightened (I like to think, anyway) individual who understands responsibilities, consequences, and sane civil behavior.... an "adult", in other words.
Books are also get-away devices, each a TARDIS unit in its own right. Every book is bigger on the inside and they can take you any where, any when, you want to go. Even the grandest major scientist has never considered how the physics of a book works, because they're too commonplace. But they're the grandest human interdimensional invention ever.
Even before the advent of writing or the printing press, stories were important. Lessons from fathers and mothers, grandfathers and grandmothers were important as a way of passing on knowledge and history.

The invention of writing, and later the printing press, were two of the greatest things to ever occur to H. sapiens.

The Internet had the potential to be a very significant thing, also; open storage of all the knowledge of mankind free for the perusing. Unfortunately, it never quite achieved its potential due to the nature of H. sapiens and their uncanny ability to corrupt any good thing.
The stories went from clay tablets to scrolls, and then to books until the electronics data storage age. Ever wonder why books are preferred to scrolls? Physics.
H. sapiens now get their knowledge and wisdom from FaceBook and Twitter. ;)
...thus the decline of H. sapiens, failing to recognize a book as an invention, a device of value. An open mind is a wonderful thing especially to those who want to push garbage into it.
