Publisher's summary

When our founding fathers secured the Constitutional “right of the people to keep and bear arms”, they also added the admonition that this right shall not be infringed.

It is the only time this phrase appears in the Bill of Rights. So why aren’t more people listening?

History has proven that guns are essential to self-defense and liberty - but tragedy is a powerful force and has led many to believe that guns are the enemy, that the Second Amendment is outdated, and that more restrictions or outright bans on firearms will somehow solve everything.

They are wrong.

In Control, Glenn Beck presents a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us. In doing so, he takes on and debunks the common myths and outright lies that are often used to vilify guns and demean their owners:

• The Second Amendment is about muskets....
• Gun control works in other countries....
• Forty percent of all guns are sold without background checks....
• More guns mean more murder....
• Mass shootings are becoming more common....
• These awful massacres are unique to america....
• No civilian needs a “weapon of war” like the ar-15....
• Armed guards in schools do nothing, just look at Columbine....
• Stop fearmongering, no one is talking about taking your guns away.

Backed by hundreds of sources, this handbook gives everyone who cares about the Second Amendment the indisputable facts they need to reclaim the debate, defeat the fear, and take back their natural rights.

enlightening

Shocked at the gross sadistic evil we are subjected to in the virtual Realm yet no one bats an eye.

Scary

The bottom line is Gun Control is less about guns and more about control. Get smart, America. Don't let them infringe our second amendment rights to keep and bear arms. It is unconstitutional, and if it happens, where do we stop as far as letting them take our freedoms away? It won't end well.

Narrator

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I don't have any friends who wouldn't want to hear what Beck has to say.

Who was your favorite character and why?

This is non-fiction. I'm sure there are some characters in there, but I don't have a favorite.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I'm sure he is a great guy and does a wonderful job reading bedtime stories to kids. You need to turn the volume up when recording this soft spoken guy. I only listen to audiobooks while I'm driving. My Camry does not have a lot of road noise, but I cannot hear him. I can hear Beck just fine.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No

Very Good Fact-Filled Book

A must have book for your 2nd Amendment toolbox. I've always believed that the best way to refute incorrect information is with facts. This book contains those facts. As time goes on I am beginning to believe that the anti-second crowd just doesn't care about the facts, but it's still a good idea to have them in your pocket.

Understand who is behind gun contol

This book is jammed packed with data, sourced facts, studies, and case after case proving an armed citizenry is the best deterrent to crime. While the opposition to an armed citizenry, the highest expression of freedom known to man, has nothing on its side but emotion. For that matter, for the gun control advocates this will mean nothing.

Because many of these people are True Believing ideologues with a utopian vision, and as with ideologues and utopists truth never gets in their way. For the True Believer it is a moral imperative to reject objective facts, objective standards and objective logic, to declare objectivity itself impossible and undesirable. They exploit tragedies in order to further a political agenda and demonize good people who abide by the laws. So don't get this book thinking you will show them the data and they will see the light, because they won't.

Get the book to help you better understand what the real agenda behind gun control advocates.

Well made argument

An argument made with statistics and citing the source of those statistics. A minute splash of humor along the way, which is typical of Glenn Beck.

Awesome

Would you consider the audio edition of Control to be better than the print version?

Finally a book that speaks the truth and crushes all the misconceptions and myths of Guns

Who was your favorite character and why?

Beck
