1. “Gun Control in the Third Reich, Stephen Halbrook’s excellent history of gun control in Germany, shows that, motives notwithstanding, removing weapons from the general population always disarms society vis a vis its worst elements. In Germany the authorities tried to deal with the Nazi and Communist mobs that were shaking society’s foundations indirectly, by disarming ordinary people. But their cowardice ended up delivering a helpless population to the Nazis’ tender mercies. Halbrook’s richly documented history leads Americans to ask why those among us who decry violence in our society choose to try tightening the vise on ordinary citizens’ capacity to defend themselves rather than to constrain the sectors of society most responsible for the violence.”
—Angelo M. Codevilla, Professor Emeritus of International Relations, Boston University; author, Informing Statecraft, War: Ends and Means (with Paul Seabury), The Character of Nations, and Between the Alps and a Hard Place: Switzerland in World War II and the Rewriting of History

4. Infringed: Assaults on our Natural & Constitutional Rights. This work is a comprehensive overview of the Second Amendment. No other natural or Constitutional right has been so selectively impugned and encroached upon as the Second Amendment. How did this come to be? What is the true meaning of “well–regulated” in the context of the 18th and 19th centuries? What are arms? What hidden gem lies within the landmark Miranda Supreme Court decision? What advanced and “high tech” arms were under design or production during the 18th and 19th centuries? Do criminals actually obtain their firearms at gun shows? What is the hidden danger of the U.N. Small Arms treaty? The author takes us on a whirlwind tour of the Second Amendment. Original intent and meaning is explored. Major case law which impacts the Second Amendment is reviewed. Sources of violence in society are considered and solutions to contemporary problems, without infringing on the rights of law-abiding citizens are offered.

6. On its initial publication in 1998, John R. Lott’s More Guns, Less Crime drew both lavish praise and heated criticism. More than a decade later, it continues to play a key role in ongoing arguments over gun-control laws: Despite all the attacks by gun-control advocates, no one has ever been able to refute Lott’s simple, startling conclusion that more guns mean less crime. Relying on the most rigorously comprehensive data analysis ever conducted on crime statistics and right-to-carry laws, the book directly challenges common perceptions about the relationship of guns, crime, and violence. For this third edition, Lott draws on an additional 10 years of data – including provocative analysis of the effects of gun bans in Chicago and Washington, DC – that brings the book fully up to date and further bolsters its central contention.
