"Emily Gets Her Gun"

[Djay3]

This fresh off the press book by Washington Times reporter, Emily Miller, is hard to put down. She documents her D.C. hurdles in order to exercise her 2nd Amendment right and legally acquire a firearm in Washington, D.C. The beaurocratic barriers are pathetic, sad and at times even laughable. It took her 4 months and fees of over $400 to finally "be allowed" to buy and keep a Sig 229 in her home!

She does a great job of also documenting (with reference footnotes) the deceptions, lies and misrepresentations of the anti 2nd Amendment liberals.

After a home invasion (due to her own poor judgement) and with zero firearm experience she starts her quest. This book will serve as a real eye opener to the folks who sit passively on the fence when it comes to protecting their inalienable rights. Maybe we can get some "fence sitters" fired up by having them read about her "adventure".

Here's one reviewer's take - "Emily Miller is a Second Amendment warrior. Chapters alternate between her personal story of navigating a completely absurd bureaucratic maze to exercise an individual, fundamental right which "shall not be infringed," and a thorough analysis of the lies, ignorance, and distortion used by the left, the media, and the current administration to undermine your rights. Ms. Miller included several appendices and meticulously documented her work with references to primary sources which increases the value of this resource immensely. Ms. Miller's writing style is easy and entertaining, making for a rapid read without losing any of the substance." Edited September 12, 2013 by Djay3

There are enough illegally owned firearms in DC. Trouble is, they are our government's.

She " beefed up the book", so it might interest folks who are already familiar with her article series and blogging.

She footnotes with references every fact and statistic she gives. I kept wondering where BO pulled his stats from other than his a*s. I didn't know they were given to him by Bloomberg's personal on-payroll "statistician". : /

Liberals make up more stuff than one would care to chronicle. Guns, global warming, abortion, DDT, etc.

 

Emily did right!

Same. The blog was always interesting, especially when it was happening right then.

She was already an editorialist and reporter for the editorially conservative leaning newspaper "The Washington Times".
