patriots is probably the best book ive ever read, ive loaned it out a ton of times and ive never met anyone who didnt like it.

enemies: foreign and domestic is more of a civil war between the government and the citizens, caused by the stripping of the 2nd amendment.

The sequel to Patriots was absolutely terrible. A piece of utter trash.

One second after was a damned good book! Makes you think of the other stuff, the stuff most people forget.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through Cannibal Reign. It's a real fun novel. I'm having a hard time with Lights out, I'm still in the beginning chapters and it's so sloooooooooooooooowwww. I have two copies of One Second After. I can't wait to get to soon. Anyone need a copy? I'd be willing to give it away, I found it at the thrift store and paid something like $0.50 for it. I could leave it with the WaGuns table at the gunshow. PM me if interested.

Matt Brackens trilogy is my favorite:

Enemies Foreign And Domestic
https://smile.amazon.com/Enemies-Foreign-Domestic-Trilogy-Book-ebook/dp/B004JF4L98/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1479474333&sr=8-2&keywords=Matthew+bracken

Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista
https://smile.amazon.com/Domestic-Enemies-Reconquista-Matthew-Bracken/dp/0972831029/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479474333&sr=8-1&keywords=Matthew+bracken

Foreign Enemies And Traitors
https://smile.amazon.com/Foreign-Enemies-Traitors-Matthew-Bracken/dp/0972831037/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1479474333&sr=8-4&keywords=Matthew+bracken

One second after comes in as a close second to Matt Bracken's trilogy. The frequent movie references/flashbacks almost killed it for me with One Second After.

"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." – T.S. Eliot

"The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker

A careful definition of words would destroy half the agenda of the political left and scrutinizing evidence would destroy the other half. - Thomas Sowell

"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow...

For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding." - Jeff Snyder

Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.

Jeff Cooper

You don't need to go to Law School to understand the constitutional implications of that.
