Sheriff Richard Mack is a legend. He refused to enforce the Brady Bill in his county in Arizona, and filed a lawsuit, claiming that the Feds may not require a local magistrate to enforce a federal law. The Supreme Court upheld his point of view, and struck down the enforcement part of the Brady Bill, which no local law enforcement personnel are required to carry out. Good book, showing his basic understanding of the right to keep and bear arms. It is not a "right conferred by the Bill of Rights," but a pre-existing right that the Bill of Rights simply recognized as being more fundamental to freedom than the creation of a national government. Worth the read.

This book is well-written and well-documented. I would recommend that every American (or anyone else that cares about freedom) get this book and read it through. Though the title is provocative, the facts are laid out clearly inside.

Richard Mack's book, in very literate style, exposes some of the disguised movements the liberal left is promoting to disarm lawabiding citizens of their Constitutional Right of self defense. Mr. Mack illustrates several examples of the propaganda being put before the American Public,by the anti-gun crowd, with misleading titles to lure the unsuspecting into a "this must be a good thing" attitude. A must-read book for any American concerned about the slow erosion of our constitutional rights and in particular The 2nd Amendment. ...the right to keep and bear arms...

I've had the opportunity to meet Sheriff Mack. His genuine character is reflected clearly in this book. "From My Cold Dead Fingers" is a clear and concise explanation of precisely why Americans need to preserve the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Sheriff Mack tackles the various issues surrounding gun control in an format that is both easy to read and easy to reference. While the book is probably somewhat elementary for those already involved in the struggle to maintain 2nd Amendment freedoms, it is still a good quick reference piece. For those not sure about the issue or even on the other side, the book is wonderfully written so that anyone can understand the pro-gun argument without devoting hours trying to dig through masses of numbers and statistics. I would highly recommend this book to everyone who doesn't already have a copy!

This book is an easy read and easy to understand. I couldn't put it down until I was done. A definate eye opener to why every responsible US Citizen should carry a gun. I strongly recommend this book.

All I can say is that this is by far one of the best books that I have ever read on gun rights.

This book succeeds in conveying emotional pleasure that simple-minded thinking allows its authors.
Unfortunately, there is never any mention of the slaughter house that American soil has become because of the nearly 300,000,000 guns circulating in this country.
For instance, in about a decade the death toll in America from guns will just about equal the number of American troops killed in all military actions since the founding of the nation. That figure, from FBI and military sources, is about 1,300,000.

The authors of "From My Cold Dead Fingers" suggest we need more guns in circulation, citing a few instances where an available gun stopped/prevented a crime.
They say nothing about the U.S. rank as number one in the industrialized world in the rate per capita of gun-caused death. Their thesis or advice serves to perpetuate the idea that safety within America comes from an armed population. Their book is rampant ideology, not social analysis. How big an elephant do they need in front of them before they are willing to discuss its presence?

This was an awesome deal. Shipped swiftly . Book arrived in "Like New " condition. I will Buy from this person again in the future.
