It's Time for Some Gun Facts

Because anti-gun propaganda should be shot down

Factoid: I derive no benefit, directly or otherwise, from anyone reading this e-book or contributing to the author. I simply think it's a good thing to do.

When I was a Teenage Moonbat™ in college -- after having been a state champion marksman in high school -- I was one of the people who fell for his own baloney, and I told a lot of lies about gun ownership in America to gullible people who had no idea what they were listening to.

Read on

They were things I knew weren't true, and they're things I'm ashamed of ever having said. I said them nevertheless, because I was young and very, very callow. My concerns at the time were distinctly less geared toward being truthful than being revolutionary, and agreeing with my leftist girlfriend. Well, we all make mistakes, but these weren't just personal mistakes: they have societal implications.

I can't take those words back now (as much as I wish I could), but I can do something positive about them 15 years later.

It's time for people in America, especially the fence-sitters, to have a little ammunition of their own when it comes to defending their 2nd Amendment rights against the argumentative broadsides of the gun-grabbers in this country.

The best way to get started is to download this compendium. At 94 pages long, it's not something you'll read at a glance, but it is meticulously researched and footnoted, and it will give anyone who supports the 2nd Amendment (and even those critical of it as guaranteeing an individual right) a lot to think about. It's provided as a free electronic book in a variety of sizes and formats. It's something that I wish I had been confronted with all those years ago:

INTRODUCTION: Gun Facts is a free e-book that debunks common myths about gun control. It is intended as a reference guide for journalists, activists, politicians, and other people interested in restoring honesty to the debate about guns, crime, and the 2nd Amendment.

Debating the right to own firearms as vouchsafed by our Constitution in an anti-gun media world is pointless without the facts to back up your opinions. And even if you've never considered owning a firearm, the fact that it is your right to do so as an American citizen is the most important reason you should read this e-book. The spinners spin, the incrementalists will try to incrementalize, and the gun-grabbers will never be satisfied until they've taken everyone's rights away from them. Don't let them take that from you on the basis of misinformation: you owe it to yourself to be well-armed.

And as always, I'd like to reiterate:

BTW, I'm thinking of writing a novel along the lines of "My Life as a Teenage MoonbatTM". Do I have your permission to use that trademark?

One of the good parts of my Teenage Moonbat™ days that I still keep around is that I have absoultely no issues with anyone appropriating my use of the term Teenage Moonbat™ for any lawful purposes, and the more righteous the better.

The difference is that I also think it would be *great* if you commercialized it. I don't care what you use it on: coffee mugs, t-shirts, in novels, on burger wrappers, or movie posters. As long as it makes you happy, I hope it makes you a mint. I'll even help you print the posters. :)

would make a great first episode, as we follow young Alex through the tribulations of his teen and then college years.

We could film in Obamatown- Hyde Park!.

And we can film on location at Video Americain in Baltimore and the steam tunnels beneath Johns Hopkins University for added emphasis. It'll rock. ;)

Anyone who doesn’t think that the U.N. is going to try to strip gun owner ship rights in the U.S. needs to read this.

But Anderson was present at the beginning of the U.N.’s campaign against gun ownership. He recalls:

I recall sitting in meetings of landmines advocates talking about where things should go next; I was director of the Human Rights Watch Arms Division, with a mandate to address the transfer of weapons into conflicts where they would be used in the violation of the laws of war, and small arms were the main concern. I was astonished at how quickly the entire question morphed from concern about the flood of weapons into African civil wars into how to use international law to do an end run around supposedly permissive gun ownership regimes in the US.

I dropped any personal support for the movement when it became clear, a long time ago, that it is about controlling domestic weapons equally in the US (or, today, even more so) as in Somalia or Congo.
