I have read and enjoyed Mr. Correia's fiction for years, so I must admit that I am somewhat biased when it comes to his writing. That said, I found this book to be well written and a very easy read.
Nearly 50 years ago, I was a newbie Police Officer in a state which abhors firearms in private hands. Even then, I realized the moral and logical fallacies of the state's positions. Since then I moved to a state with a different attitude, and served over a quarter of a century as a police officer here. My experience and research on the topic have only solidified my strong belief in the wisdom of the Framers in including the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights.
Mr. Correia's book is not some academic history of the Second Amendment, nor is it a legalistic approach or statistical approach to the subject, those exist aplenty. No, this book is a very readable refutation of the myriad fallacies that pop-up ad nauseam every time some wacko uses a firearm to kill a number of people. This is a book that should be mandatory reading for every Hollywierd celebrity, media-personality, and pseudo-journalist with zero knowledge of firearms and the realities of crime and violence who feels the need to pontificate on the subject of citizens being permitted to lawfully defend themselves and others.
I had just finished reading this book when a certain male teen once again popped up in the media bloviating ignorantly about firearms, regurgitating some of the very talking points of the anti-gunners that Mr. Correia refutes so well. He should have read this book before speaking, and the journalists who fawn over his every word would have done well to read it also.
If you are interested in why the Second Amendment is as valid today as it was nearly 250 years ago, this is a book you should read. I recommend it.

The more people shout him down, the more Correia is vindicated.
Protip for the layman: When people start writing books and essays to refute another book, BEFORE IT EVEN COMES OUT, you know the refuting party is trying to snow their audience.Larry mentioned in the book that there are people in this country within the media and government who refuse to portray the 2nd Amendment in a positive light, period, and try to shout down anybody else who does.The fact that those same people (refuting authors who wrote their takes before this was published, Camestros Felapton's negative breakdown of the book, etc.) are trying to do the exact same thing to -this- book, just proves Larry's assertion correct. Which should tell you he's onto something.This is an excellent book. Not only does it breakdown why the 2nd Amendment is important, the threats to it, and what regular gun owners can do about it, it also gives a basic roadmap of how to be a better gun owner. All explained through Larry's particular brand of wit, always laughing at his detractors' expense (sans swearing), and trying to keep things positive for gun owners, a whitepill for the endless nihilistic media blackpill, if you will.100% recommend to everybody. Buy a copy, buy a firearm, and while you first-timers are learning to shoot, learn more about your 2nd Amendment Rights!
