Best Book I ever read: Unintended Consequences

[nhhillbilly]

I have enjoyed this book so much I have given copies away for Christmas to some others so they can think. Everyone has enjoyed it. And it does have to be read at least twice.

John Ross wrote a great book.

Billmanweh mailed me his copy to read. He asked me to pass it on to more readers.

If anyone would like to read it next, PM me and give me your address. The only stipulation is that you have to pass it on to another interested reader when you are finished with it!

First come, first served, etc.

Dad's copy is ordered.

I am still reading the first time through. I guess this means I'm on another one or few of those lists JR and many others of us are included in. What a club.
WHAT A PARTY.

I read this book some time ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. About a week ago, i started eyeing it for a 2nd read every time i walked past my gun library.... maybe i'll start it again tonight.

The book is extremely well done, like a stephen king plot, except better. the only criticism i have of the book is that it's so friggin preachy. every page is just drenched in "rhetoric". That criticism is certainly countered by reality. i stop by my local gun shop after breakfast every morning for an hour or so to chat, and it's always non-stop preaching to the choir about the sad state of affairs we're in.

so, like i said, an excellent work, and not at all unrealistic. just...sad, somehow.

oh, and my wife refuses to read it, and hates it with a passion because of the cover picture. what were you thinking, John??

if there is a sequel in our future, definitely post it here.

warm regards,

p.s. i can't get my dad a copy or he'd start shooting people straight away. he's very impressionable for a 60 yr old

It's friggin' HUGE!

Should make some nice, light reading over the holiday break.

I started reading it Sunday, finished it Thursday. I hardly went on line this week! By far one of, if not the, best book I have ever read.

I would Die for freedom for freedom just as my ancestor did by the name of richard stockton, died in the alamo.

It isnt about gun's its Freedom

I didn't really care for some of the content or the writing style, felt like it really dragged in certain places and could have used a healthy dose of editing, thought that some parts were unrealistic, and that overall it was a little over the top.

HOWEVER, I give John Ross two big thumbs for penning what was really a ground-breaking book. Nothing like was on the market before and it served as a good reminder of what may yet come if we are not diligent.

BTW, if you liked UC, I think you would REALLY like Enemies Foreign and Domestic. A little more realistic IMHO.

Would you really die for your right to own a gun?

Howzabout for YOUR right? Or my nephew's right?

Or someone who I'll never meet?

But it ain't gonna go cheap.

But hopefully it won't ever happen.

Bought my first (signed) copy from JR at Knob Creek in '96 or '97, I think. Lent that one out and never saw it again. found a replacement(fifth printing) at another gun show a couple years later. Still have that one. And anyone rerading "Consequences" will definately enjoy "Enemies Foreign & Domestic", by Travis...

No, I would make others die for my right to own a gun.

that reminds me, can anyone recommend a book about the warsaw uprising?
