Episode 60. The Tyranny of Gun Control with Jacob G. Hornberger

 

Alex Ooley is joined by Jacob Hornberger to discuss his book, The Tyranny of Gun Control.

 

The right to own firearms is one of the most fundamental, inherent rights of man. Not only do individuals have the natural, God-given right to own property, they also have the basic right to defend themselves from murderers, rapists, thieves, burglars, and other violent, antisocial people in society. Most importantly, individuals have the right to defend themselves from the oppressive, tyrannical acts of their own government. This book shows why gun control poses an enormous threat to the liberty of the American people. It is a must read for anyone concerned about the future direction of freedom in the United States.
