Today, April 16th, the day of the Virginia Tech massacre, is my birthday. Every year for the rest of my life, I am going to be reminded on my birthday that my attempt to alert the American people to the lethal dangers of victim disarmament did not succeed in preventing this act of criminal terrorism.
My 1994 book, Stopping Power: Why 70 Million Americans Own Guns, makes the point -- through analysis of history, criminology, statistics, and dramatic examples -- that "Gun control increases violent crime by disarming helpless victims and shifting the balance of power to the illegally armed criminal or terrorist."
Obviously not enough people have gotten that message or there would not be in place a federal "Gun-Free-School-Zone" law prohibiting the carrying of concealed handguns by those citizens of the State of Virginia -- faculty, administrators, and graduate students -- who hold or could have applied for a Virginia license to carry.
This can not be permitted to continue. This ends today.
We are at war with criminals and terrorists, and the victims must be allowed the means to defend the innocent and decent among us from the guilty and indecent among us.
As of today -- as a Hobbit-like birthday present -- I am making downloads of the PDF edition of Stopping Power a free download.
Click on the book cover to download and read the book for free.

I read your Self Control, Not Gun Control about a decade ago and it was a pretty good read. Thanks for the free download.

“Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.” L. Neil Smith
. An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed man is a subject.
. A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

Nowadays (for the past few years, in fact) "banglist" is added in the keyword section and accessed on the top of the FR browse page.
(I just added it to keywords).

Thank you, though I imagine a lot of traffic today for that keyword. :(

Great idea. An unarmed citizen and an armed criminal is bad thing. An armed government and an unarmed populace is against the concept of the founding fathers.
