Shooting Straight: Telling the Truth About Guns in America
by James Jay Baker and Wayne LaPierre
Best-selling author Wayne LaPierre, the executive director of the National Rifle Association, explains why the right to bear arms is so critical to our democratic and free society. LaPierre champions the Second Amendment rights of all law-abiding American citizens and sharply criticizes gun-control laws as aiding and abetting in the acts of criminals. LaPierre exposes how the media consistently distort the facts about gun ownership in America, and how they refuse to report on the role that responsible gun ownership plays in protecting our families and our communities. Shooting Straight is a must-read for all gun-owners and lovers of freedom. |

The Global War On Your Guns: Inside the UN Plan to Destroy the Bill of Rights
by Wayne LaPierre
The United Nations wants your guns. They want all of them-now-and they've found a way to do it. In fact, the UN is so cocksure it can commandeer the Second Amendment that it chose the Fourth of July, 2006, to hold its global gun ban summit in New York City. If you think there's no way an armed UN platoon of blue helmets can knock on your door to take your guns, this book just became your next must-read.
Wayne LaPierre's The Global War on Your Guns takes you inside the UN plan to destroy the Bill of Rights by attacking the one right that makes any right possible, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. |

Guns, Freedom and Terrorism
by Wayne LaPierre
Gun control has long been a hot topic in the United States, and the controversy has only heightened since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Now, with a growing focus on homeland security, more and more Americans are asserting their Second Amendment right to bear arms.
In Guns, Freedom, and Terrorism, NRA executive vice president Wayne LaPierre provides a fact-filled volume and tackles a number of subjects surrounding gun rights, including: arming airline pilots, animal rights extremism, media bias, gun show prohibition, self-defense, and others. His convincing arguments will cause even the most adamant gun control supporter to consider the values our forefathers fought to protect: liberty, democracy, and justice. |

The Bias Against Guns: Why Almost Everything You've Heard About Gun Control Is Wrong
by John R. Lott, Jr.
Following up on his controversial study More Guns, Less Crime, economist Lott argues that widespread gun ownership prevents crime. He cites survey data and news reports to argue that the fear that victims might be armed strongly deters criminals, and that guns are used in self-defense or to ward off criminal threats about 2.3 million times a year. Because they impede law-abiding citizens' access to guns, even mild gun-control regulations-assault weapons bans, "one-gun-a-month" laws-actually increase crime, according to Lott, while right-to-carry laws lower crime and help prevent (or violently terminate) terrorist attacks and "rampage" shootings. Even measures to keep guns away from children, like "gun-free school zones" and "safe storage" laws that require guns to be locked away, are misguided because children need guns for self-defense (he cites news reports of kids as young as 11 gunning down criminals). The benefits of untrammeled gun availability are clear, Lott insists, and only the anti-gun bias and selective reporting by the media and government officials have kept this fact out of public consciousness. Lott supports his bold claims with elaborate statistical analyses that tease sometimes small effects out of the welter of factors that influence crime rates; there are lots of graphs and tables, and much space is devoted to scholarly discussions of statistical methodologies. Many readers will find these sections rough going, but Lott's provocative thesis is sure to stir interest among Second-Amendment stalwarts and gun-control supporters alike.

Guns and Violence: The English Experience
by Joyce Lee Malcolm
This historical study is a companion to Malcolm's earlier book, To Keep and Bear Arms: The Origins of an Anglo-American Right. While the first book focused on the constitutional and legal aspects of gun control, this new work takes a much closer look at the role of the gun in British society, from the Middle Ages to the present. Despite Britain's long history of strict gun laws, Malcolm cites statistical evidence of increased violence in England and assesses the "deterrent impact" of an armed public. She makes useful comparisons with the United States (where, despite millions of privately owned firearms, violent crime continues to decline) and feels that the British people are just embarking upon the kind of gun control debate that we have had in this country for the past 30 years. |

To Keep and Bear Arms: The Origins of an Anglo-American Right
by Joyce Lee Malcolm
Joyce Malcolm illuminates the historical facts underlying the current passionate debate about gun-related violence, the Brady Bill, and the NRA, revealing the original meaning behind the individual right to "bear arms." She reminds us forcibly that arguments for gun ownership were, until quite recently, universally respectable, and that gun control and peaceable behavior appear to be unrelated phenomena. |

Safe, Not Sorry
by Tanya Metaksa
The statistics are alarming: 73 percent of women over the age of 12 will be victimized at some point more than one third of them violently raped, robbed or assaulted. To combat this, former NRA Institute for Legislative Action Executive Director Tanya Metaksa has spent years teaching women how to take safety into their own hands in her revolutionary program, Refuse to Be a Victim. Now, in Safe, Not Sorry, she brings her message of empowerment to women who have come to realize that neither 911 nor the legal system will protect them in an increasingly violent age. This complete guide to self-protection shows how to develop proactive strategies for personal and family safety at home, on the street, in the car and at work. Safe, Not Sorry is the ultimate self-protection handbook. |

The Best Defense: True Stories of Intended Victims Who Defended Themselves With a Firearm
by Robert A. Waters
A dramatic portrait of what is at stake in the fight against crime at the level where it actually occurs: victim vs. perpetrator. Each year, hundreds of thousands of American citizens successfully use guns to defend themselves and others. While there are many books debating the pros and cons of gun control, the Second Amendment, and the legal aspects of gun ownership, few if any relate true stories of encounters between criminals and victims. In these accounts, the victims survived and lived to tell about it. Their unique, yet far-too-common, perspective adds a whole new dimension to the gun control debate. |
