REVIEW-The Assaulted First 10 Chapters
02/19/25 • 23 min
A little insight on the book, it's creation, and some of the references sprinkled through the first 10 chapters. At the end of this review are thoughts on why this book was written, and what the central character is proposing (SPOILER ALERT-It's NOT the banning or removal of ALL guns!)
The book will continue with Chapter 11--Fort Lauderdale Airport soon.
"Somehow this has become routine! The reporting is routine, my response, here at this podium ends up being routine, the conversation in the aftermath of it, we've become numb to this. We talked about this after Columbine and Blacksburg, after Tucson, after Newtown, after Aurora, after Charlestown. It cannot be this easy for somebody who wants to inflict harm on other people to get his or her hands on a gun." President Obama, 10/01/2015, after Umpqua Community College shooting
