"Essential Liberty" excellent read

[CBR]

Came across book titled "Essential Liberty" written by Rob Olive. Could not put it down. Would highly recommend. Below is a short description from Amazon.

They thought it would never happen here…

Seemingly ripped from today’s headlines, Essential Liberty is an action-filled, thought-provoking work of fiction about governmental overreach and the abuse of power. Through believable characters and words that could have come from our current political debate, Essential Liberty asks, “What if?”…and then provides the answer.

The United States government has banned and begun confiscating firearms from its citizens.

Insurance executive Don Williams has never owned a gun and is part of the majority of Americans who initially favored “Collection” (the official term for confiscation), yet he’s shocked to see his fellow countrymen being rounded up on the evening news.

Don’s good friend, former Marine Mike Niculescu, owns many firearms and has refused to surrender them. The son of immigrants from Communist Romania reveres them as symbols of liberty.

Bill Payne, of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, commands an ATF Hazardous Operations Team. These elite new teams are reserved for Collection operations with a high level of risk. Payne wants his unit to be the first to make headlines.

As the story unfolds, Don is forced to make a choice: Will he turn a blind eye to the abuse of power, or will he chooseâ€"for the first time in his lifeâ€"to make a stand on principle that will put everything he cares about at risk?

Thanks guys, I'd love to read it on Piers Morgan...but I'm not sure he'd have me on. I think we can beat this thing at the federal level, but we still have to keep up the pressure on our congressman and senators. Y'all ought to be okay at the state level in Oklahoma. Oregon, well, it's a different story for us; but I think we have a chance to beat back a high cap restriction here too. Headed to the state capitol this Friday to fight the good fight!

It's got to be a good read for me to read 7 pages of anything, and that it was. I heard the phrase a long time ago " a government big enough to provide all of your needs if a government that is big enough to take away all of your rights" and he touched on that, it's one of the very things that sticks in my mind these days when they talk about taking away my 2nd Ammendmant rights. Thanks for the essay, I'll have to share it, and I'll have to put the book on my list of must reads.
