About this ebook

Glenn Beck, the New York Times bestselling author of The Great Reset, makes 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.

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tragedy is a powerful force and has led many to believe that guns are the enemy, that the Second Amendment is outdated, and that more restrictions or outright bans on firearms will somehow solve everything.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 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...40 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.

Ratings and reviews

About half way through book thus far and have made many notes of points where rhetoric, buzz words, hot buttons, etc are used to encite emotions and feeling toward Beck's hypothesis, if it could be called one. I am anti-gun for many reasons, but oddly not many of the ones brought forth by mainstream news or talking heads alike. This book has not changed my view and that is the purpose I see it fulfilling; it is meant for people who already have a certain view and desire some dribble to spout out in a debate

Unfortunately, since this truth does not agree with the desire of some people in our government and media to disarm the citizens of our great nation, nothing that would fix the problem will be done. It does not matter how many times or how many ways you show them the truth, they will call you crazy, a liar, or a conspiracy theorist. You do not fit there agenda and you will always be there enemy. God Bless you for what you are doing for this country.

This was a very enlightening read, even for someone otherwise knowledgeable about gun laws! The writer not only reveals statistics, but principles behind what motivates "gun control" vs. a plain reading of the second amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
