This book is poorly written. The precepts it seeks to promote are unrealistic and vague, sort of the 'I just think!' quality which is a sure sign that the person presenting the idea has long ago made up their mind.

One of the hammering points they come to is that Automobiles are far more regulated than guns... they neglect to mention however that even with those regulations, licenses, restrictions we kill each other wit the things at a rate of about one hundred to one over guns.
'But those are accidents' a reader might think...
1. not always, automobiles are weapon of choice of a HIGH percentage of murders committed by women!

and

2. so are a goodly percentage of firearm deaths...

'but that's DIFFERENT!.'

No not really.

the anti-gun nuts are every bit as crazy as the gun nuts as this poorly constructed bit of propaganda demonstrates
