Dave Kopel has a new gun control book coming out next month, “Aiming for Liberty: The Past, Present, And Future of Freedom and Self-Defense.” Since he sent me a free advanced copy I’m going to plug it. Kopel is the research director for the Independence Institute and has done a lot of research on gun control, some with my friend Paul Gallant who was involved in grassroots pro-gun activities in Rockland Co. in the 90s. The book mentions that some of the material included was originally co-authored with Paul.
The book arrived in today’s mail so I haven’t read it yet. It’s 182 pages and broken down as follows:
- The Heller Case
- Gun Control and Discrimination
- The Anti-Gun Agenda
- Some Deceptions and Errors Used to Promote Anti-Gun Laws
- Religious Perspectives on Freedom from the Ancient World
- Religious Perspectives on Freedom from the West
- Schools and Children
- International Freedom
- Law Enforcement Abuses and Solutions
- Culture
- American Heroes
It can be pre-ordered online and SAF is planning a “book bomb” on December 4 in support of it.
