Second Amendment Studies.
A
Little Handbook on the Second Amendment: What the American aristocracy Does
Not Want You to Know
by Dr. Joseph L. Bass
The Downhome Enterprise, Paperback, 105 pages (December 1999)
"Too many that support the Second Amendment do not have the time to read academic books dealing with the subject. The "handbook" re-focuses the debate on guns on issues as seen by the Founding Fathers. Information is presented in an easily read format, outlining the more than 3000 years of political thought represented by the Second Amendment. We will better able to support the Second Amendment if many more of us are better informed." -- Author.

More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun-Control Laws (Studies in Law and Economics)
by John R. Lott, Jr.
University of Chicago Press paperback (2nd Edition) - 321 pages, 2000
Comment: A detailed statistical study that shows that places that "allow" people to carry guns have lower rates of violent crime; and that when places that formerly did not allow people to carry guns change and allow carry, the rates of violent crime go down. Instead of making up his statistics like anti-gunners do, Dr. Lott relied on official crime reports, and applied rigorous mathematical methods.
