Debarred the Use of Arms: A Warning from the United Kingdom - Softcover
Debarred the use of Arms is a warning to all American gun owners who currently believe their rights under the second amendment are secure. The Author is a former UK police officer of 21 years who enforced gun law in the UK. He observed first hand the steady restriction on gun owners, culminating in the total ban of handgun ownership and the resulting massive rise in armed crime. The book details the events in the UK leading up to the ban and the arguments used in the UK that are now being offered in the USA. It is particularly critical of The Brady Group whose policies have seriously endangered public safety in the USA. The horrific events at Columbine, Virginia Tech and others are recounted in chilling detail with actual facts, not anti gun spin. This book is a must read for all who care about the right to defend themselves and their families. Now a US resident, Certified NRA Instructor and Kentucky DOJ Registered Concealed Carry Instructor Steve Challis, along with his wife Eva run Harmony Hollow Firearms Training in Jeffersonville, Ky. Both are active supporters of the Second Amendment and Steve has been invited to speak at pro gun rights events since moving to the USA. The forward to this book is by Lt Col Dave Grossman a former West Point professor and noted author of several books that are required reading at the FBI academy and many Police Departments throughout the USA. Upon reviewing this book, Lt. Col. Grossman U.S. Army (Ret.) Director, Killology Research Group, stated; And thus the book that you hold in your hands is one of the most important books to be published in recent years, written by a former British law enforcement officer, with a vital message that we must read and heed. If England cannot make gun control work, then there is no way on earth that it will ever work in the US. All England has succeeded in doing is to create one vast "unarmed victim zone." And that is the future of our nation if the gun grabbers have their way! We are in a battle for the future, soul and safety of our nation, and my good friend Stephen Challis is uniquely qualified to give us this message. Do not just read this book. Study it. Apply it. And pass it on, with urgency, to others. If the gun grabbers have their way, then England is our future. And it is a dark and desperate future, indeed.
