The "author" of this volume is a dead giveaway: "Gun Owners of America". That is the agenda and bias. And it is "proven" by selective -- "cherry picking" -- reference to only materials which support its claims. It is an approach to fake scholarship which is intellectually dishonest.

And note the unsubstantiated terrorizing and appeal to the hysterical: that the police are "UNDER NO OBLIGATION" to protect citizens. Doubtless that is a distortion -- the police are certainly under mandate to "serve and protect" the community, including individuals. So what are the "sources" for the assertion that they are "UNDER NO OBLIGATION"? I've been asking for those, for years, from those who advance that assertion, but have yet to receive any evidence -- or "proof" -- upon which to base that assertion. I still request such information; but will dounbtless wait forever before such is ever presented for critical evaluation.

The law is as it has always been: No sane society leaves dangerous substnaces and objects lying around unregulated. And: the Second Amendment is irrelevant to the issue of private, individual ownership of guns. Ignoring, or misrepresenting the law on that point, as does NRA and its spawn, does not alter it; it only perpetrates a fraud based soely upon anti-Constitutional ideology.
