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.

"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.

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.

If I were an instructor at a local college or university teaching principles of constitutional law I would definitly consider the information contained therein as one of the prime sources for my class instruction. It's not to force my ideas on a group of students, but to ask my students on all sides of the gun and related issues what they believe, but more importantly why they believe what they believe. We need independent thinkers, not people who just accept any form of indoctrination from their instructors. The points brought up in this publication are a good start to achieving these goals, and getting away from what I call "Progressive Indoctrination" in the classroom. A great instruction source.

Pretty good book, all things considered. The author does present relevent information on "the right to keep and bare arms" albeit information that has been circulating for awhile. The author does some repeating of information later in the book that was covered early on, which I feel was done to make the book longer. All in all "Assult on Weapons" was a fairly decent read, with lots of information on the agenda of the "gun grabbers", and what to look out for as the assult on the Second Amendment continues from the liberal media to the liberal legislature.

This administration is bound and determined to take guns away from the general public. When was the last time you read about the police showing up on time to protect a citizen in their home? The police only show up in time to take the report and watch the EMTs and/or coroner take care of the injured or dead. Police are necessary, but it is up to the individual to protect their family. When guns are outlawed completely, only the bad guys, and police, will have guns.

I found the book to be very informative. I have a far better understanding now just how the attempts to take our 2nd amendment rights away from us.
