When i first started watching this video I wondered if I could get through it,but knowing the name Jeff Cooper I figured I'd give it a chance.Well,the more I watched the more I became engrossed.I have just one question.WHY THE HELL DON"T WE HAVE MORE PEOPLE LIKE HIM????? The funny thing is, that what he was saying imho is mostly common sense.Also IMHO a good deal of our laws concerning firearms are made by elected officials who know little to nothing about firearms and/or prople brainwashed by the anti-gun media.No I'm not a zealot or a fanatic but it does'nt take a rocket scientist to know that if you take guns out of the hands of law biding citizens it makes us all sheep for the slaughter by the criminal wolves who could give a flying f**k about our rights and well being.

Watch the whole show.  Some of his answers to questions in the last half are very good, particularly his view on what needs to be done when the government does not follow the law and how to deal with the situation.  His views on BATF are not surprising, but enjoyable to hear.  Very effective speaker.  

My copy of "Cooper on Handguns" has gotten away from me and I'd love to find a copy for less than collector prices.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster
