The
Battle We Fight: Battling Potomac Fever To Recapture Our Homes And
Communities
by John Longenecker, Jr.
Author House Publishers, 2004
Is there a connection between violent crime, official deafness,
and indolence, and an overall widening loathing of our country?
Is there any chance that interested constituents - parents, newlyweds,
and other hopefuls - can actually recapture the authority, power,
and dignity of their own homes and communities? Observer John Longenecker
identifies an unsettling similarity between the loudest and rudest
voices in office and the most disparate double standards and coercive
forces supporting them, and he proposes a gutsy solution.

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

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.

Outgunned: True Stories of Citizens Who Stood Up to Outlaws--and Won
By Robert A. Waters and John T. Waters, Jr.
Cumberland House Press, 2004.
Outgunned! True Stories of Citizens Who Stood Up to Outlaws-and Won is the first book to systematically describe cases of American citizens protecting themselves against criminals. All are documented in contemporary writings or by noted historians. In some cases, new information has been located and incorporated into the book. Many books romanticize outlaws or lawmen, but until now the role of townspeople who banded together to save themselves and their neighbors has been given little more than passing interest.

Comment: David Thibodaux, Ph.D., wrote a remarkable and outstanding
book titled, Political Correctness: The Cloning of the American
Mind. David is an English professor at the University of South-Western
Louisiana and in his short work, he really hits the nail on the
head. Quoting from the back cover of his book: "This is a brilliant
illustration of the hypocrisy of the political correctness movement
and its destructive effects on a free society." If you want to really
understand how the American people have been played for fools, this
is the book. -- Devvy Kidd (in e-mail)

Comment: There are two main opposing visions of man in relation
to himself, to other men and to government. When you understand
the two visions, you can see why people line up on one side of an
issue, and you can predict the positions they will take based on
just a few questions. This one book provides a clearer explanation
of the bases of modern controversies than would a whole undergraduate
education in political science. I would literally pay people to
read it. -- Richard Stevens, Editor JPFO Firearms Sentinel.

because any report, article, or book is going to be history, even
a scientific article, which could be considered a history of an
experiment or experiments. -- Ken Holder, JPFO Webmaster
