Freedom In Peril, a dated (and chilling-for either side!) but well-made piece of NRA propaganda

By Jack Brummet, Bill of Rights Editor


"Freedom In Peril - Guarding the second amendment in the 21st century"  is a pamphlet put out by the National Rifle Association.  The propaganda first appeared in 2006.  It is beautifully designed and illustrated.  It gives you a pretty clear picture of just where the NRA stands (as if you didn't know already).  Without going into particulars on the merits of the second amendment debate, I will say events in the last few years (say, since about 1968) and the arms debate makes me remember Kris Kristofferson's lyric:
"Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose"


You can read the pamphlet here.
