Handguns and Freedom: ...their Care and Maintenance Joseph H. Pierre 1st edition

Of what good are the freedoms spelled out in the Bill of Rights if the people lack the power to enforce them? As Thomas Hobbes Noted in 1651, in his book, Leviathan, Covenants without the Sword are but Words, and of no strength to secure a man at all. The attempts by liberal forces in this country in the last few decades to deprive the American people of their private firearms, and thus to deny them their constitutionally guaranteed right to own and carry private means of self-defense is an old and infamous pattern of conduct, dating back centuriesa common practice of tyrants. If the people do not resist this effort we are in dire danger of losing not only our other freedoms, which are enumerated in the Bill of Rights, but also the blessings of liberty, which the Preamble proclaimed was one of the main goals of the government established by that document. This book is intended to serve as an alarm, both to the well meaning but misled who are unwittingly being used by sinister forces who would destroy our freedoms, but also for those who are oblivious to the battle for the palladium of our freedoms, the Second Amendment to the Constitution.
