Assault on Weapons: The Campaign to Eliminate Your Guns [Paperback]

Alan Gottlieb (Author), Dave Workman (Author)

Book Description

Release date: September 23, 2009

Insidious. The decades-old campaign to erode our fundamental right to keep and bear arms has been one of misrepresentation and outright deceit. Perpetuated by self-appointed progressive social engineers and Utopian idealists, the incremental disarmament of American citizens, through legislation, litigation and cultural bigotry has become a serious threat to liberty and personal safety. Assault on Weapons reveals the history of the gun prohibition movement, a politically-motivated elitist effort built on myths, distortions and lies. Following their successful collaborations on America Fights Back: Armed Self-Defense in a Violent Age and These Dogs Don t Hunt: The Democrats War on Guns, authors Alan Gottlieb and Dave Workman are back again with a hard-hitting expose that dismantles the campaign to destroy the Second Amendment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Assault on Weapons: a Review October 11, 2009

By Jay Lewis

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I liked this book very much. It's extremely informative and obviously written by knowledgeable and competent authors. It goes a long ways toward explaining the aversion to guns expressed by many on the anti-gun Left and exposing their insidious agenda, which would, if many anti-gun activists get their way, culminate in the cancellation of our gun rights and the confiscation of our guns. Additionally, the book is written in plain English, instead of long-winded, flowery, or condescending prose, which makes it a fast-paced, fascinating read. I strongly recommend it, both to gun owners and to those who want to educate people unfamiliar with firearms.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Not part of the flock" January 12, 2010

By Mr John Haueisen VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

"America is at a crossroads, and we must decide whether we are a nation of men or a nation of sheep. Gun owners have already made that decision, and have concluded that in a world of sheep, they are not part of the flock." Assault on Weapons goes on to show, chapter by chapter, the history of and reasons behind the gun banning movement.

Here are some other quotes from the book, which will demonstrate the types of ideas to be found in this book:

"Firearms owners are the only remaining social group in America against whom it is perfectly acceptable to practice social bigotry, often to the extreme."

Thomas Jefferson: "When the Government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the Government, there is tyranny."
VS.
Representative Henry Waxman: "If someone is so fearful that, that they're going to start using their weapons to protect their rights, makes me very nervous that these people have these weapons at all!"

Assault on Weapons goes on to explain in detail, the tactics used by gun banners, and tactics to combat them. This final quote is another illustration of the points made by the authors: their definition of gun prohibitionists:

"what they want is the `perfect' society on their terms, by their definition. It would be a society without challenge and without risk, where rugged individualism may be an unpleasant memory, and self-determination a trait to be avoided so as to not upset an orderly community.

Perhaps it would be good even for those who think they are against gun ownership to read this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Assault on weapons November 13, 2009

By Larry D. Baker

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Everyone in the united States, should read this book. It might change their minds, about the evil of guns. Guns are not evil, only the people who use them to commit atrocities on others; are evil. Such as the radical Muslim, who used them to kill and injure; our troops at Ft. Hood. Of course, the politically correct retards; will blame the guns. If the liar-in-chief (Bill Clinton) hadn't given an executive order, to make all military bases gun-free zones; it never would have ended as it did.
