The Seven
Myths of Gun Control: Reclaiming the Truth
About Guns, Crime, and the Second
Amendment
Today, the right to own a gun is under
assault like never before. Every time a
firearm is used in a high-profile crime,
calls for stricter gun regulation -- even
outright prohibition -- are pounded into
us by a press that has taken sides. In
fact, when it comes to guns, journalists
have clearly made up their minds.
According to a recent study, television
news stories calling for stricter gun laws
outnumbered newscasts opposing such laws
by a ratio of ten to one. This book will
provide you with all the information you
need to make a rational judgment about the
gun control issue.

More Guns,
Less Crime: Understanding Crime and
Gun-Control Laws
Lott's actual quantification of the gun
control issue, in the largest and most
comprehensive study of the effects of gun
control to date, a study well-detailed in
the book, provoked a number of attacks,
ranging from the amateurish to the subtly
misleading, desperate to discredit him.
Lott takes the time to refute each
argument; it's almost touching the way he
footnotes each time he telephones an
attacker who eventually hangs up on him
without substantiating any of their
claims.

The Tyranny
of Gun Control
Dave Carew, in the Tennessee
Libertarian Party newsletter, says this
book is "A must read for anyone interested
in gaining a deeper understanding of the
true meaning of the Second Amendment --
and how it came to be seen as a sine qua
non of the Bill of Rights -- The
Tyranny of Gun Control is, in the
final analysis, an essential work for
everyone concerned about the fate of human
liberty."
