Exposing the Truth About Guns

By: Glenn Beck

Narrated by: Jeremy Lowell, Glenn Beck

Length: 4 hrs and 59 mins

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- but tragedy is a powerful force and has led many to believe that guns are the enemy, that the Second Amendment is outdated, and that more restrictions or outright bans on firearms will somehow solve everything.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

Good information - not for bed time

Glenn has really done his research - every debater should read this book!!! It puts to rest all of the arguments on gun control that you hear on the news all the time!!

Everyone Needs to Read or Listen to This Book!!

What did you love best about Control?

It's a clear, concise, fact based account of what the gun control battle is all about and indeed it is control but not of guns as many people think, but control of the people.

What other book might you compare Control to and why?

There isn't anything that I know of that compares.

Have you listened to any of Jeremy Lowell and Glenn Beck ’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

If you could give Control a new subtitle, what would it be?

I wouldn't change it. It's perfect the way it is.

Any additional comments?

This is a must read for everybody and should be on the top of every school reading list. It is a great history and civics lesson.

great book!

Really gets to the heart of the issue behind gun-control laws. This book will show you that gun-control has nothing to do with guns and everything to do with control.

Excellent research and precise analysis!

Glenn destroys "Controlist's" logic with facts and well cited research. If you believe in the 2nd Amendment then this is a must read book. Also, parents who have kids that play video games should focus on part 2 of this book for some eye opening (and frankly repulsive) look at what content is allowed in today's video games and the psychological impact these games can have on our kids! I'd give it 10 stars if I could!!

great book for research

good book for the gun arguments. would suggest to anyone looking for research topics and points

another winner

great information and facts. a must read! this is exactly what the uninformed need to be educated on.

Eye opening

Masterfully put together. Exposes everything the gun control activists don't want you to know. It does it by using the whole truth of the half truths they put out!

Great book

While I'm not a huge Glenn Beck fan (recently), this book was spot on. It was easy to follow and made perfect sense. Well done.

Informative; factual; thought-provoking

Would you listen to Control again? Why?

"Control" is loaded with facts and factual anecdotes that clearly point out the flaws in the arguments for "Gun Control", showing that "Gun Control" has little to do with guns and much to do with control.

Realistic based facts

Good presentation of the facts. Very well portrayed by the spoken word. Enjoy the face a lot of information in a relatively short period of time. Feel it is informative for where we are today.
