Guns Save Lives is filled with true stories of Americans who altered the course of their lives and others by their use of firearms. They vastly improved their own lives and those of their families by staying alive. They saved the lives of untold others from the violence the assailants were trying to commit. They changed the lives of the thugs significantly, at least temporarily, by sending them to jail, or even more significantly, and permanently, by killing them outright. A professor at Florida State University believes hundreds of thousands of assaults, robberies, burglaries, rapes and murders are stopped each year by armed citizens. Yet most of these stories are not given news coverage beyond a small article in the local paper. The media has been muzzled, not daring to print stories available in far greater detail than the local media dared. 5.5 x 8.5, 194 pages, softcover, illustrated.
