New Book Review – Guns Save Lives by Robert A. Waters
“Fate reversal.
It’s what could have happened that didn’t happen.”

Robert A. Waters’ new book, Guns Save Lives is about reversal of fate. Not everyone believes in fate, but that doesn?t make Waters? book (subtitled True Stories of Americans Defending Their Lives With Firearms) any less compelling. The intended victims in this book took charge of their own fate. They made their own luck. They turned the tables on their attackers. However you say it, it comes down to the same basic concept: The strong survive.

In Guns Save Lives, Robert Waters tells you about the criminals who take what they want from the weak and unarmed. He gives you detailed accounts of their sociopathic rampages, and how they inevitably come to an end when confronted with a greater force in the form of an armed citizen.

It is difficult to stop reading this book. I read it from cover to cover, only putting it down once. Waters puts you in the time and place of the attack, and puts you in the mindset of the intended victims. You feel the hatred and rage of the attackers, and marvel at the bravery of the people who take responsibility for their own safety, even when they?re nearly scared stiff.

You?ve never read self defense stories this detailed, this personal. Waters makes you feel like you are there. If your heart rate doesn?t spike while reading Guns Save Lives, you?re not paying attention.

The American mainstream media completely ignores cases of armed self defense. They are controlled by corporate and special interest groups that don?t want stories like the ones in Guns Save Lives to gain publicity. Thankfully, Robert Waters shines the light of truth on these “guns are evil” groups and establishes once again that “guns are tools;” and that evil resides only in the hearts of men, not in inanimate objects.

When the idea of tying armed self defense stories to the Right to Keep and Bear Arms was first tested, anti-freedom fanatics immediately dismissed them as “anecdotal.” Once again, Robert Waters silences their shrill cries by citing the details of dozens of examples of armed self defense. In addition, in the Afterword, Waters introduces the reader to Operation Self Defense, an online compilation of thousands of self defense stories archived and available for research. The antis can no longer call such incidents merely anecdotal.

In a chapter entitled “Concealed Carry,” Waters relates six separate incidents in which a legally armed citizen defended their life, and the lives of others, from violent criminals. After reading this chapter, you will be amazed that there are still six states that forbid their citizens the right to carry firearms for self defense.

Guns Save Lives is the book that will make your “fence sitting” friends jump to the Liberty side of the fence. It is available through Loompanics Unlimited by calling 1-800-380-2230, or through their website at www.loompanics.com
