Endorsements for Death by “Gun Control”

Death by “Gun Control” provides a vital and neglected argument for the right of private gun ownership: namely, that people with guns can defend themselves against government criminals as well as against common ones. Zelman and Stevens present the argument eloquently and with meticulous scholarship. Although the stories of governmental persecution are heart breaking, this book is a pleasure to read because of its clear-sighted and humanitarian concern for the victims who were stripped of self-defense.

An excellent, well-written book that should be read by everyone interested in firearms policy. Zelman and Stevens prove beyond any doubt that gun control is a necessary precondition for genocide. The book details how anti-gun laws undermine the sanctity of human life, how such laws denigrate tolerance and diversity, and how gun control violates the moral principles of the Judeo-Christian tradition. One of the best books ever written about the right to keep and bear arms.

Riveting. Electrifying. Sobering. Death by “Gun Control” is a wake-up call to all who love liberty. It should be required reading in every home and school.

Death by “Gun Control” explains the fundamentals in such a lucid, accessible way that you could give the book to your middle schooler as a first primer on the value of an armed citizenry. At the same time, it’s so packed with well-organized information that experienced gun-rights activists and researchers should keep it close at hand for intellectual ammunition. I thought I’d read a lot on this topic; but Aaron and Richard taught me things I’d never known and gave me new ways of looking at familiar concepts. This is a seriously valuable book.

Zelman and Stevens tell the story we all must know — how successful twentieth century tyrants knew they had to disarm their people before they could torture and kill them. The power of their story makes clear our imperative — to preserve at all costs the natural right of self defense and its corollary, the right to keep and bear arms.

George Santayana wrote: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” In the 20th Century, nuclear weapons were used by government to kill a few hundred thousand people, whereas “gun control” was used by governments to pave the way for killing over 100,000,000 people. Read this book to understand how and why we must help prevent the 21st century from repeating the government destruction of life and liberty of the past century – we cannot afford another like it.”
