Description
Shall Not be Infringed: The New Assaults on Your Second Amendment is a history of the relatively short gun control debate in America and a revealing description of how those hostile to the Second Amendment use polls, studies, and numbers to confuse the public. Expert pro-gun advocates David Keene and Thomas Mason tell the story of the battle fought in the courts, Congress, and state legislatures across the country as well as in the media and even the United Nations. Guns have become a symbol over which battle after battle is fought, all the while hiding the end game of a cultural shift to government dominance. Although the Supreme Court ruled the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to "keep and bear arms," candidate Clinton and the Democratic Party have promised to pick Supreme Court justices who will overturn this ruling. Gun control advocates insist the Court was wrong and a new Court should reverse that finding, stripping American gun owners of the Constitutional protection that has thus far made it impossible to ban gun ownership. Addressing vital issues such as deterring and preventing crime, troubling presidential and Congressional politics, problematic anti-gun proposals, and so much more, Shall Not Be Infringed is an essential read for our times.

Reviews
"If you're wondering whether this year's candidates support or oppose your Second Amendment rights, this book, Shall Not Be Infringed, is a book you'll want to read!" --Dick Cheney, former vice president of the United States "This timely book highlights the critical importance of electing officeholders who will protect our Second Amendment freedoms. Keene and Mason tell a troubling story about how the Obama State Department, led by Hillary Clinton, helped advance a UN effort to restrict the rights of law-abiding gun owners." --Senator Orrin Hatch "The current assault on gun rights threatens our most basic rights as citizens--and our most sacred foundational principles. This book lays bare the dangers of the movement to disarm us and what's required to defeat it. It's a must-read for every American." --Monica Crowley, PhD, editor and columnist for the Washington Times and political and foreign affairs analyst for Fox News "In Shall Not Be Infringed, David Keene and Tom Mason have broken the code on the gun-grabbers' plot to make our Constitution's Second Amendment 'irrelevant.' For all who want to protect our precious civil liberties, this book is a mandatory must read!" --Lt. Col. Oliver North, USMC (Ret.), NRA board member, and bestselling author of Heroes Proved "Shall Not be Infringed is a warning to all of us that all of us must be freedom fighters in the defense of our storied and essential Second Amendment. I am proud to call David my friend and fellow warrior." --Thomas Millner, CEO of Cabela's "Chilling! David Keene and Tom Mason have fought on the front lines in the gun rights battles--in the US and around the world. Their clear description of how we arrived at the point where a major presidential nominee openly calls for banning guns in this country should be a clarion call for anyone who values the Constitution and the American way of life." --Tom Gresham, host of Gun Talk Radio "Shall Not Infringed by Dave Keene and Tom Mason, a remarkable work by two of the most knowledgeable Second Amendment warriors I know, is must reading." --Stephen Hornady, president of Hornady Ammunition "Good moral people without guns are at the mercy of immoral people who will obtain them illegally. The Second Amendment protects good citizens--crippling it will leave them defenseless. We need to personally read this book to our kids who are being 'brainwashed' by propaganda." --Pat Boone, signer/songwriter "Do we really need another book on the threat to the Second Amendment and the rights of America's gun-owners? Read Shall Not Be Infringed and your answer will be a resounding "yes!" Coauthors Tom Mason and David Keene have given us a timely, lucid, well-argued, and highly readable discussion of the threats 'foreign and domestic' to our liberty. Fortunately, the Second Amendment is the only self-enforcing right in the Bill of Rights. Perennial gun-grabbers would be wise to keep that in mind." --Thomas Moore, author and consultant to the firearms industry "Shall Not be Infringed is an essential read when advocates of our Second Amendment are under daily assault and America is one Supreme Court justice away from reversing its affirmation that the Second Amendment is an individual right." --Roy Innis, national chairman, Congress of Racial Equality (CORE)
