Slightly frustrating
The gun/gun control topic of the day is mass killings, and I have a book out on the subject, released on Amazon, which demonstrates that gun control cannot possibly affect these crimes. It cannot "prevent" them; it cannot even reduce them a little. Mass killings are a textbook example of why gun control is useless against crime! But I cannot get anyone to take note of this. I've sent copies to just about every pro-gun organization and spokesman I can think of, with no result. Maybe it's "not invented here," I don't know.
If you're interested, just click on the image to be taken to its Amazon page. I wrote it to be inexpensive, $2.99 ebook and $5.99 paperback.
UPDATE: As a comment notes, if you go to the Amazon subpage, Amazon Smiles, you can designate a favorite charity which will receive part of your purchases. I can't link in the book's Smiles page since when I copy the html I get a link to my Smiles account, donating to my chosen charity rather than yours, but if you go to the Smiles webpage and search for the book's title you'll come right to it.

Ditto!
Bought it just now to support you.
Sorry, but your dialectical book is totally irrelevant in a rhetorical fight.
To quote the '60s expression, "The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution." The issue is always disarming us, not whatever is the official reason for that today. Although the Left is getting close to the truth when they label all gun owners as "Nazis" and say we must therefore be disarmed prior to being killed.
Ditto for purchase to support your work. Bought the paperback for my library and the Kindle for 99 cents. It is seldom I find someone who is really just looking for information and hasn't made up their minds. It was about 10% when I was regularly teaching classes, and now (among the general public) it is about 1%. I still gather information for those few reasonable people who might be moved to the side of Liberty.
Ordered 3. A couple for friends. Could you change your link to smile.amazon.com so purchases also help our chosen charity? My "donations" go to St Jude's. Amazon gives out millions to a PILE of charities.
Read it today over lunch.
Question or proposal: if shooters are motivated by the prospect of fame/infamy, such that it inspires copycats, and you recommend limiting publication of shooters' names,
would it maybe dissuade copycats if *failed* shooters were more prominently published?
Fyooz: I think that even failed folks would be happy to get attention. It matters not whether they kill or not they want "fame". Better to simply "fade" them away without releasing names or info.
The media will never work in that direction. The media and the left work together and wish to disarm the populace in order to bring forth their vision of a socialist America. Nothing with stop them.
I ponder that the media and other are whispering in the ears of these shooters like a small voice in their head, driving them to commit the act.
Purchased.
