A SECOND AMENDMENT BOOK BOMB: David Theroux of the Independent Institute just called to tell me about an effort to celebrate Bill of Rights Day (that’s today) by trying to push Stephen Halbrook’s new book, The Founders’ Second Amendment: Origins of the Right to Bear Arms, up on the Amazon and NYT bestseller lists, as Ron Paul supporters did for his last book. Halbrook is a terrific Second Amendment litigator and scholar, so if you want to help the cause of gun rights, buying (or giving) a copy of his book isn’t a bad idea. I’ll order one myself, and I’ve actually already read the book. More background here.

UPDATE: Well, I ordered one, but now it’s showing as “temporarily out of stock.” Guess this thing’s working! (Bumped).
