Author Description

In Hands off My Gun, Dana Loesch--cofounder of the Tea Party in St Louis, 2012 winner of Accuracy in Media's Grassroots Journalism Award and Nielsen-rated one of the top sixteen most powerful mothers online--tells the hard truth and pulls no punches as she speaks out powerfully in defense of our right to bear arms and against those who would take it (and our guns) away.Dana Loesch has established herself as a fearless and fiery spokeswoman for conservative points of view on issues across the board, none more strongly or with more intelligence, fervor and personal passion than gun control. And in Hands off My Gun, Loesch backs up her opinions with research that makes a brilliant case against those on the left who want not only to further reign in owning and buying guns, but to prepare for taking them away altogether. First, Loesch lays the groundwork by looking into the background of the Second Amendment itself. She digs deep into historical documents, showing exactly why the Founding Fathers insisted it be part of the Bill of Rights. Next she draws a frightening picture of what all-out gun confiscation (a.k.a. "The Grab") would actually mean for law-abiding gun owners and particularly for gun-owning women, who would lose the only effective defense they have against rape and sexual assault. Finally, she exposes the despicable fear-mongering of the mainstream media and hypocritical liberals as they use tragic events to play on our sympathies every chance they get, chipping away at our resolve by portraying pro-gun citizens and organizations as out-of-touch, pro-violence and often racist. She debunks their propaganda and delivers practical tips for skewering every left-wing argument they offer.In Hands off My Gun, Dana Loesch delivers the essential how-to manual for every Second Amendment supporter, providing a fact-based understanding of why we were given our gun rights, what it would look like if we lost them, and how we can protect them for future generations.
