Title: Armed America-the New Book
Post by: jaybet on August 12, 2007, 04:39:40 PM
M.B. mentioned on (radio cast- web cast? I can't remember where I heard it) the new book out called, "Armed America".
I read an article in the Philadelphia Weekly paper (a little bit underground and edgy, but informative if you don't mind the ads for hookers)
The article interviewed the author and interviewed several of the Philadelphia folks in the book and was very complementary.
The whole point was that gun owners are all different kinds of people- not paranoid whackos, or whatever. They made the point that people from every walk of life were interested in protecting themselves and HAVE protected themselves (ever been to Philly?).

I loved the last line of the article. The author said,(paraphrasing) "The diverse list of folks included in this book might not make up the most 'Well Regulated Militia', but they'd make a hell of a guest list for a bar-b-que or dinner party".
Good people with guns. It's nice (and AMAZING) to hear it from the general media now and then.
