Unabridged Audiobook
I doubt anyone could write on this subject without showing their bias on "right to bear arms". This author is no exception. His research acknowledges several times that The People are fearful of a tyrannical government taking their guns and making them subservient (going back to England 100 years prior to US Constitution), and the government being fearful of armed mobs in revolt. However, this point never makes it into The Authors primary conclusions at the end, as if he doesn't think it relevant. The Author spends a lot of time explaining away why the 2nd and 14th amendments really never meant to imply an individuals right to a firearm, even though thats (mostly) what those amendments say. Finally, The Author could have help sway the reader if he had not belittled those he disagrees with, like the NRA, Souther Baptists etc. Likewise it did no good to ridicule people like Edward Neese ("Looks like a jolly real estate agent from California") and Justice Scalia. I do not own guns nor am I an NRA member. But I would join if I feared a tyrannical government.
