“...For years, irresponsible lobbyists and politicians...”

Perhaps there are politicians who recognize they have a responsibility to the Constitution.

Part of the book’s tension comes from the parallel bullying Busse experienced as a dissident within. In one jarring scene, Busse’s boss at Kimber—angry at slumping gun sales at the end of Obama’s presidency—quips, “The problem is that we have Democrats. Let’s solve our problems, Ryan. How about we just kill all the Democrats? Well, all of them except you, Ryan. Let’s kill all the Democrats except Ryan.”

Ryan Busse would be happy to have Ottawa police chief Steve Bell’s armed gunthugs shoot you for disagreeing with the government.

“Despite what the NRA wants you to believe, people very rarely use guns for self-defense”

That is a damn lie!

So it’s only self-defense if you actually kill the attacker? Not if you shoot them and they live? Or if you do kill them but no charges are filed?

“Shoot first and ask questions later.” As National Rifle Association leader Wayne LaPierre is fond of saying, the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.


It’s a trick by placing a purported paraphrasing adjacent to the claim of a statement. The actual quotation is at the other end: the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.

They start out by calling our constitutional Republic a democracy then it goes downhill from there.🙄

“you are responsible for every bullet that leaves the muzzle of your gun,”

Needs to be said over and over again. No exceptions, no exclusions, no exceptions, no excuses, no mitigating circumstances.
