5.0 out of 5 stars A humorous look at the gun control debate, May 27, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Florida) - See all my reviews

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!

2.0 out of 5 stars Makes Gun Owners Look Like There On Jerry Springer, January 2, 2001

By A Customer

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 Also, the book is outdated.
