History of American Rights

THE HISTORY OF AMERICAN RIGHTS Scattered across our website are books that focus on what has made America great -- our invention of and dedication to human rights. Americans invented the idea that the people are sovereign, and that government exists to serve us, not the other way around. This stunning break from the way the world had always turned led to the most abundant, successful and admired society in history. It freed up people to accomplish whatever they could imagine, and when you set people free that way there's little they cannot do. Fueled by the awesome power of wholesome self interest, free markets, capitalism, individualism, government of limited powers and a strong belief in moral values, America became a shining beacon that continues to this day to draw people to its shores. These books celebrate and explore what has made this nation the linchpin of freedom for the entire planet.

	THE SECOND AMENDMENT Preserving the Inalienable Right of Individual Self-Protection David Barton, $5.95 This skinny little book has more to say about what the 2nd Amendment means than many books three times its size. If you want the clear, concise, well-documented heart of the gun-rights debate, here it is. It relies on all the early thinking and writing from the Colonial days, gives citations for everything, and provides the verbal ammunition you need to make an authoritative case any time you speak up about the right to keep and bear arms. Why is the Second Amendment so important? This makes it clear.

	THAT EVERY MAN BE ARMED by Stephen P. Halbrook, The Independent Institute, $19.95 Sets the historical record straight in a detailed scholarly way. Put to rest at last any questions you may have about the intent behind the 2nd Amendment. With 1,300 annotations, Halbrook looks at, reports on, and quotes sheaves of actual original documents of the founding fathers. There is some invented confusion on this issue in America today, but as you'll see, there wasn't any back then. The title is from a quote by Patrick Henry, "The whole object is that every man be armed. Everyone who is able may have a gun." Henry's peers make similarly unambiguous remarks, removing all doubt.

Hardy, $24.95 One of the nation's leading Second Amendment scholars has brought together the cream of America's gun-rights experts, and produced a stunning video that examines every critical facet of the right to keep and bear arms from a present-day perspective. Why take it from news or political commentators, when you can listen to the professors, legal experts, historians and constitutional scholars who really know what they're saying. Includes original historical documents, many filmed here for the first time. Stellar array of experts includes: Akhil Amar, Brannon Denning, Carol Bamberry, Clayton Cramer, Daniel Polsby, David Kopel, Don Kates, Joyce Malcolm, Eugene Volokh, Gary Kleck, Glenn Reynolds, Nelson Lund, Nicholas Johnson, Randy Barnett, Robert Cottrol, Roy Innes, Sandy Froman, Sanford Levinson, Stephen Halbrook.

	Understanding Liberty: TALKIN' TO AMERICA Bill of Rights or Bust Produced and Written by Kelly Daley, $19.95 This made-for-TV production is the video to own if you want to help people understand the Bill of Rights, and why they should personally support our freedoms. By focusing on the entire BOR it gets the point across about gun rights better than anything else available. It is a heart warming, endearing video that instills great pride in what makes America great, and is perfect for showing to friends, relatives and people who need it most -- the ones who just don't get it about guns, liberty, personal responsibility and limited government. An excellent teaching tool for classrooms from grade school through high school.

	The Politics of Gun Control: INNOCENTS BETRAYED Directed by Aaron Zelman, $29.95 Produced by Aaron Zelman and Dr. Ignatius Piazza Screenplay by Claire Wolfe Creative Director Richard W. Stevens You've heard that disarming the public is the first step toward genocide. This shocking video documents the unthinkable slaughter of unarmed human populations by their governments during the last century. The biggest killers on earth are not the criminals -- they're the tyrannts who run renegade government forces against their own people -- unarmed defenseless people. "If slaves had weapons there would be no way to keep them slaves." The U.N does nothing or makes matters worse, and people who would disarm Americans bring us closer to the disaster "that can't happen here." Watch this alarming, gut-wrenching video, and show it to your friends. It could be a life saver.
