It's as if Conan Doyle had burst out in the middle of a Sherlock Holmes novel with Jehovah's Witness propaganda. This has been possibly the most disappointing read of my long lifetime. I started reading when I was three years old and have averaging four books a week since then. I had really enjoyed Flynn's other books and was looking forward to reading this one. It's as if he had been suddenly taken over by Jim Jones or the Nazi party and was spouting the mindless propaganda of the group. Flynn appears to have been puppetized by the most stupid and unreasonable propaganda of the rabid gun-control minions. This entire book is riddled with the idea of the evil of "assault weapons," when the facts are that these guns are identical in every way to "hunting" weapons, except that they are accessorized to look scary to liberals and Democrats. They fire the same way; they fire the same amount of cartridges in the same way. They have SF-looking stocks instead of wooden stocks and that is the main way they differ from "hunting rifles." It makes me wonder if Flynn would like a gun that was covered in fuzzy, pink cloth with smiley animals depicted on the stock.To answer the problem of mass-murder, Flynn prescribes Presidential tyranny and totally unconstitutional behavior. If you are not willing to have your weapons registered, your children will be forced to attend a low-class school,where their lives will be in danger and they will be treated as second-class people. Joseph Flynn is a great writer, but he is an immoral government-loving follower and worshiper of psychopaths and psychopathic behavior patterns.  If this book is any indication, Flynn would have loved the Nazis and their leader. He makes guns the source of evil, while ignoring that Patti Grant is not our President and Barack Obama is. He ignores the heightened arming with military weapons of your local law-enforcement organizations and the endlessly escalating unconstitutional snooping the government engages in. Flynn does well at creating alternate universes, but he is both ignorant and stupid when it come to comprehending Human History. Throughout our history, registration has always been followed by confiscation and genocide, with not one single exception. Flynn wants to disarm everybody but government, ignoring the clear fact that mass-murdering gunmen have killed dozens in the last century while governments have killed millions. i have gone from admiring this author to despising him, in one book.
