Politically Correct Guns is a take-no-prisoners invasion of the Gun Control crowd's territory, lobbing humor grenades at their hypocrisy, bombing their misplaced zeal with clever vignettes, and surrounding their anti-gun rhetoric with such pointed parody that even Gun-Banner Bill Clinton will have to laugh at himself. Alan Gottlieb has done it again with Politically Correct Guns, defending our gun rights with wit and facts-and this time, with some really strange but true stories. Like the section on Goofy Gun Laws, which tell of a town that makes it illegal for a woman to shoot in the direction of a police officer with the intention of shooting off his neck tie! And the Drug Enforcement Agency officer who shot a topless bar owner for putting a cdover charge on his bachelor party! And Teddy Kennedy's armed bodyguard who got arrested in a Senate Office Building while trying to check his weapons before escorting his anti-gun boss on a big trip! This is a must reading for every gun owner- and every gun control advocate, too!

A humorous look at the gun control debate,
By DJFlight@ix.netcom.com (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Politically Correct Guns (Paperback)
Politically Correct guns is an excellent introduction to the gun control movement. Those who have not chosen sides, as well as those who have, will benefit from this book because it presents material in a humorous, easy-to-understand manner. The position of many different organizations - such as the media - as well as the positions of many individuals is covered. Furthermore, the rationales for those opinions is examined (and made fun of.) The author weighs in on more than just the gun control debate itself; failures of government agencies, policy faults, and the political corrrectness of Hollywood are also lampooned. A generous helping of cartoons - some taken from newspaper editorial pages, others from noted political cartoonists - help drive the point home. This is truly an easy reading, hilarious book. My main complaint is that it is not long enough!

Makes Gun Owners Look Like There On Jerry Springer,
By A Customer
This review is from: Politically Correct Guns (Paperback)
I found this book to be a poor attempt at satire. Being a gun owener myself, I found this book to represent gun owners as fanatics. RIGHTS ARE RIGHTS ARE RIGHTS. Thats great and I agree with that, but put it in a mammer where people who read this dont think that all gun owners are unintelligent. The author is a radio talk show host and the book is patterned after that in your face morning talk show style. A lot of yelling and calling people supid, but not alot of substance. Also, the book is outdated.
