An examination of the gun-control debate by the CEO of the National Rifle Association argues that taking away guns from those who acquire them legally is a dangerous idea and states that the criminal justice system, and not gun control, is behind our nation's problem.

In this book. Wayne LaPierre, CEO and National Spokesperson for the National Rifle Association (NRA), has written the first single source that provides the facts about the agenda of those who want to ban guns. He vigorously challenges the media and their claim that private gun ownership is the cause of the spiraling crime rate that has made American streets and communities unsafe. He explains -- with detailed facts -- how the freedom guaranteed in our Constitution is called into question when legislation is proposed to ban guns and impose waiting periods and limitations on gun purchases. La Pierre argues that it is urgent that our right of self-defense not be put in jeopardy.

Guns, freedom, and terrorism exposes the myths of those who demand we give up the liberties our forefathers fought valiantly to protect. It's about the true meaning of an armed citizenry and the natioin's bedrock belief in preserving freedom.

From one of America’s smartest political writers comes a “captivating and comprehensive journey” (#1 New York Times bestselling author David Limbaugh) of the United States’ unique and enduring relationship with guns. For America, the gun is a story of innovation, power, violence, character, and freedom. From the founding of the nation to the pioneering of the West, from the freeing of the slaves to the urbanization of the twentieth century, our country has had a complex and lasting relationship with firearms. In First Freedom, nationally syndicated columnist and veteran writer David Harsanyi explores the ways in which firearms have helped preserve our religious, economic, and cultural institutions for over two centuries. From Samuel Colt’s early entrepreneurism to the successful firearms technology that helped make the United States a superpower, the gun is inextricably tied to our exceptional rise. In the vein of popular histories like American Gun, Salt, and Seabiscuit, Harsanyi takes us on a captivating and thrilling ride of Second Amendment history that demonstrates why guns are not only an integral part of America’s past, but also an essential part of its future. First Freedom is “a briskly paced journey…a welcome lesson on how guns and America have shaped each other for four hundred years” (National Review).

The United Nations wants your guns. They want all of them-now-and they've found a way to do it. In fact, the U.N. 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 U.N. 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 U.N. plan to destroy the Bill of Rights by attacking the one right that makes any right possible, the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. LaPierre's well-researched chapters outline the threat itself, how the U.N. works, and the phalanx of international forces determined to eliminate the basic human right of self-preservation through elimination of all private firearm ownership. In The Global War on Your Guns you will learn: How a 1997 land mine treaty molded the U.N.'s new strategy How the U.N. funnels your tax dollars to anti-gun member nations Why the U.S. domestic gun-ban crowd is investing big in the U.N. What U.N. disarmament has done to once-free peoples of the world How extreme U.N. gun laws can be enforced on Americans-even without a new treaty! LaPierre exposes the labyrinth of international connections and cash flow that have moved this chilling threat from blueprint to binding treaty. At center stage, LaPierre spotlights global billionaires like George Soros and a colossal coalition of domestic and worldwide gun-ban and animal-rights groups led by the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) and its zealous leader, Rebecca Peters. In previous books, LaPierre dissected the cultural war smoldering within American borders. But now, as LaPierre writes, "This is America's cultural war gone global." Read how to win it now, in the pages of The Global War on Your Guns.

If the Second Amendment--your right to own a gun--collapses, so does the entire Bill of Rights. And there are powerful, organized political forces that want to take away your gun rights and shove the Second Amendment into the ashcan of history. This is the message of LaPierre and Baker, both officers of the National Rifle Association. Here, the authors break down the agenda of the antigun lobby point by point and provide a strategy for defeating the enemies of your gun rights. Freedom and security are not an either-or proposition--they go together. In America, they always have, with citizens taking responsibility for themselves. That's the spirit that has made the NRA the number one champion of freedom for gun owners and all Americans.--From publisher description.
