Publisher's summary

What part of the Second Amendment don’t you understand?

That’s the question posed by award-winning, bestselling author, and professional firearms instructor Larry Correia.

Bringing with him the practical experience that comes from having owned a high-end gun store—catering largely to law enforcement—and as a competitive shooter and self-defense trainer, Correia blasts apart the emotion-laden, logic-free rhetoric of the gun-control fanatics who turn every "mass shooting" into a crazed call for violating your rights, abusing the Constitution—and doing absolutely nothing to really fight crime.

In his essential new audiobook, In Defense of the Second Amendment, Correia reveals:

  • Why "gun-free" zones are more dangerous for law-abiding citizens,
  • How the Second Amendment does indeed include your right to own an AR-15—and why that’s not an "outdated" concept,
  • Why "red flag" laws don’t work, can be easily abused, and ignore a much more commonsensical approach to keeping guns out of the wrong hands,
  • The insanity of "criminal justice reform" that frees dangerous criminals and "gun reform" that penalizes your right to self-defense, and
  • How we can return to a society that has a safe and healthy relationship with guns—as we had for most of our history.

Correia’s promise: "Believe me, I’ve heard every argument relating to gun control possible. I can show you how to defend your rights."

Urgent, informed, with vitally important information for whoever who owns a gun or is thinking about owning a gun or who cares about the preservation of our constitutional rights, In Defense of the Second Amendment is a landmark book of enduring importance.

Simple, Clear, and Concise

Author Larry Correia, quite effectively, lines up all the reasons why all Americans (left, right and middle) should be in support of the second amendment and how to support it... even if you're not the type of person to personally own firearms.

Mr. Correia put every bullet point out and simple and easy to understand terminology. The book is informative without being condescending, and John McClane does an excellent job of relaying those facts to us.

It is a good book for those people who do support the second amendment, and an even better one for those who are on the fence or don't.

One thing is for sure, if you choose to purchase this book, it will not be a waste of your time.

Good information here

Correia most definitely knows firearms and writing.
For people that are enthusiast, this book affirms ideas already in place and maybe introduces a different way of thinking about others. For non enthusiast it gives a glimpse into reasons that enthusiast are so viament on any type of infringement on the Second.

Fantastic book. Can be a bit harsh at times. But worth the read for anyone in either side of the debate.

Concise, straightforward

Larry provides a clear statement of the principles of the right to individual self-defense. He also demolishes the oft repeatedcand completely debunked arguments for more gun control.

It's not about guns - it's about control: of the hoi polloi by their Betters. Same old tune, they just change the key.

Everyone should read this!

Loved the insightful arguments made. The straight forward talk with that wonderful Larry humor.
Should be required reading for every high schooler.
I couldn't stop listening, burned through it in two days.... about to start over because it is worth repeating.

Awesome

Definitely a highly suggested listen for anyone already a part of the gun culture in America or for people willing to listen and understand why we stand where we do, instead of just blindly arguing and not willing to have a conversation.

Excellent resource,

I've already "read" it through three times, each time getting more or of it. Common sense, easy to understand.
