Synopsis

In the wake of tragic shootings in Newtown and Aurora, the anti-gun lobby has launched a campaign of lies, distortion, misrepresentation, and emotional manipulation that is breathtaking in its vitriol and its denial of basic facts. Their goal is to take away our Second Amendment rights and then disarm law-abiding Americans.

Emily Miller tells her personal story of how being a single, female victim of a home invasion drove her to try to obtain a legally registered gun in Washington, D.C. The narrative—sometimes shocking, other times hilarious in its absurdity—gives the listener a real-life understanding of how gun-control laws only make it more difficult for honest, law-abiding people to get guns, while violent crime continues to rise.

Using facts and newly uncovered research, Miller exposes the schemes politicians
on Capitol Hill, in the White House, and around the country are using to deny people their Second Amendment rights. She exposes the myths that gun grabbers and liberal media use to get new laws passed that infringe on our right to keep and bear arms.

The gun rights debate isn't just about firearms. It's about protecting a fundamental right that is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. It's about politicians who lie, manipulate, and outright break existing laws to get what they want. It's about President Obama wanting a bigger federal government to control you. Not just your guns—you. The fight for gun rights is the fight for freedom. Emily Miller says stand up and fight back now because your Second Amendment will only be the first to go.

Every time Guns or gun rights are mentioned there are certain among us who have a knee jerk reaction....to wit, "guns are bad...evil guns, bad, bad, bad guns"; People who use guns are baaaddd, people who shoot guns are bad...."

Goodreads review by Matthew on October 11, 2013

This book turns out to be a very worthy read (for both sides of the gun "debate"). Basically, it is the story of a Washington DC journalist who decided to write a story documenting the process involved in getting a firearm permit in DC after the DC ban was struck down by the Supreme Court. What was......more

Goodreads review by Salvatore on October 07, 2013

Interesting take on Emily's attempt to get a permit for a hand gun in Washington DC. It is now legal to own a handgun in DC. But you cannot conceal carry. Only in your home and on the way to a shooting range. She goes into great detail on completing a 17 step process to purchase a handgun. It took h......more

Goodreads review by Sharon on March 28, 2014

Follow Emily through the hoops and downright silliness of laws when trying to get a permit to own a gun in DC. It's a real eye opener. She peppers the book with crime stats and sources that prove the inaccuracies put out by the anti-gun folks. Great read.......more
