Freedom's Tool. Throughout American history, that's what the gun has been. From the muskets at Lexington and Concord to the semiautomatic rifles and pistols that protect twenty-first-century homes, a gun in the hands of a law-abiding citizen is more than a symbol of liberty. It has been a primary tool of American freedom. But as bestselling author Frank Miniter points out, there are two main storylines about guns in America today. One is the Big Lie of the mainstream media--guns are a menace, an ever- present danger that needs to be regulated away. The other storyline is the one that millions of Americans actually live--guns provide safety and security, whether in the hands of our nation's soldiers or of law enforcement or of private citizens. Growing up with guns is for many Americans a way of life, tied up with hunting, sports, and-- most important--personal responsibility. For mainstream Americans, the future of the gun is bound up with the future of freedom. In The Future of the Gun, you'll learn: - Why anti-gun groups often oppose gun safetyfeatures- How guns--and gun education for young people--cut crime- How federalism could save your gun rights- New trends in gun technology that will make guns safer and more effective- Why most talk about "assault rifles" is bogus- How military and civilian gun technology have always advanced in tandem--for the benefit of soldiers and private citizens>Want to know about the future of the gun? There is no better place than to start here.

A spy ring was allowed to grow in Congress, and no one wants to talk about it.When Imran Awan, an IT aide for Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), was arrested by the FBI as he tried to fly away to Pakistan, the media didn't know what to make of the story. Was this just a bank fraud case or something more? Why was this team of congressional IT administrators paid chief-of-staff-level salaries? Why did they provide fraudulent data to Capitol Police? How had they evaded background checks? As facts emerged, it became frighteningly clear this case was really about a spy ring that operated in the offices of more than 40 members of Congress, all Democrats. By following the digital tracks of this group of IT aides, Spies in Congress uncovers a real-life international spy thriller and unearths a shocking reality the U.S. government would rather we didn't know. Much of the media clearly wants to protect the party they favor, and the members of Congress involved don't want to pay a political price. Even the Republican leadership in Congress has been reluctant to hold hearings or to ensure that an ethics investigation take place. We can still insist on an honest ending, but to do that, we need to come to terms with what's in this book.
