Emily Miller's new book will be in bookstores on Sept 3. She writes editorials for the Washington Times, and after an incident realized she might have to protect herself. She did NOT come from a gun family, so this was all new to her. I got my pre-ordered copy on Wednesday and read it that night.
The books first 16 chapters alternate between the story of her getting her gun and some of the politics that drive gun control. The last 6 are politics and an expansion of some of the horror stories of people who have run afoul of the DC gun laws. It is a very good read and I think an important book to support, and well worth the cost.
Maybe the best part is I think most people here will enjoy reading it, but it gets better. It is the perfect book for someone who thinks gun control can help, as it really drives home the point that gun control does nothing to prevent criminals to get a firearm, but can make it damn near impossible for a LAC to get one.
After she started her editorials, DC removed some of the roadblocks to getting a gun in DC. In dollar terms dropping it from $435 to $173. While it seems like $173 would be a little high to a government that thinks having an ID to vote is too much of a burden, it is a start.
