Book Description
Pistol's Promise is book 1 of The Brethren MC trilogy. Books 2 and 3, Pistol's Rage and Pistol's Claim are available everywhere now! I'm back to claim what's mine. If she wasn't a mother by the time I came home, I swore I'd give her the baby she wanted. But Lisa forgot my promise and my face – until I stormed back into her life. And she realized something about me is all too familiar. PISTOL She's the unplucked flower from my broken youth. And I'm coming to finish the job. Lisa Tallbrook doesn't remember me, but I've never forgotten her. Time has treated her well. Drew curves where none were before, painted a glistening sheen to her flowing hair. Made her all the more delicious to look at and touch. But the years haven't been as gentle to me. They've added tattoos to my back, scars to my fists, and some bloody stains on my soul that will never go away. In fact, Lisa doesn't even recognize the boy who left her so long ago. All she sees when she looks at me is a savage biker eager to score. Hell, she might even be right. I'm certainly hungry to bind her in my bed. But she's not just another notch on my belt. She's the prize I've been denied the whole time I've been on the road. And I'm tired of waiting. I'm back in town on MC business, but I think I can afford a midnight distraction. Tonight, I'll make my childhood sweetheart my own. And I'll fulfill the promise I made way back then: To put my baby in her womb. She'll never forget me again.

"Guns Don't Kill People, People Kill People"
Author: Dennis A. Henigan
Publisher: Beacon Press
ISBN: 0807088846
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
“A must-read for every American who longs to bring sanity to our nation’s gun laws,” this book debunks the lethal logic behind the myths that have framed the gun control debate (Ariana Huffington, co-founder of HuffingtonPost) The gun lobby’s remarkable success in using engaging slogans to frame the gun control debate has allowed it to block lifesaving gun legislation for decades. But is there any truth to this bumper-sticker logic? Dennis Henigan exposes the mythology and misguided thinking at the core of these pro-gun catchphrases, which continue to have an outsized influence on public attitudes toward guns and gun control. He counters the gun lobby’s messages by weaving together the most compelling current research and insights drawn from the grim reality of deadly gunfire in our homes and communities. Henigan charts a new path toward ending the American nightmare of gun violence. Pro-Gun Myths Include: “When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.” “An armed society is a polite society.” “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun.” “Gun control doesn’t work because criminals don’t follow the law.” “Gun manufacturers shouldn’t be responsible for gun crime, any more than Budweiser is responsible for drunk driving.” “We don’t need new gun laws. We just need to enforce the ones we have.” “Gun control is a slippery slope to complete gun bans.”

Book Description
What does a man do when his lover is murdered, his only friends abandon him, and the entire galaxy is against him? It seems like only yesterday that Wobert was the happiest man alive; now he must make a choice: sacrifice everything to save the friends that left him for dead, or track down and kill his lovers murderer. The galaxy is in turmoil around him, but the struggle he faces within his own hardened soul is even more perilous. For the last thirty-eight days, Wobert has been creeping closer to his demise while his ship slumbers in a swamp on Bactiwa, the only habitable planet in the Leckta System. As he journeys from bliss and peace to alcoholism and self-destruction, a skirmish flares up between the Bacts and the marine army. Fueled by rage and lust for bloodshed, Wobert slaughters several men on each side; now both sides view him as an untrustworthy rogue with a death wish. The Bacts want Wobert to lead them back to glory, but Wobert just wants to be left alone. Only time will tell if Wobert will fly off into the stars as a victorious hero or if he will fail, letting evil reign forever.

The Toughest Gun Control Law in the Nation
Author: James B. Jacobs
Publisher: NYU Press
ISBN: 1479886548
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
A comprehensive assessment of real gun reform legislation with recommendations for better design, implementation and enforcement A month after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, New York State passed, with record speed, the first and most comprehensive state post-Sandy Hook gun control law. In The Toughest Gun Control Law in the Nation, James B. Jacobs and Zoe Fuhr ask whether the 2013 SAFE Act —hailed by Governor Andrew Cuomo as “the nation’s toughest gun control law” – has lived up to its promise. Jacobs and Fuhr illuminate the gap between gun control on the books and gun control in action. They argue that, to be effective, gun controls must be capable of implementation and enforcement. This requires realistic design, administrative and enforcement capacity and commitment and ongoing political and fiscal support. They show that while the SAFE Act was good symbolic politics, most of its provisions were not effectively implemented or, if implemented, not enforced. Gun control in a society awash with guns poses an immense regulatory challenge. The Toughest Gun Control Law in the Nation takes a tough-minded look at the technological, administrative, fiscal and local political impediments to effectively keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous persons and eliminating some types of guns altogether.

United States Martial Pistols and Revolvers, first published in 1939, provides firearm collectors and enthusiasts with a single authoritative volume containing information on the development and description of martial short arms, from the flintlock pistol that was available at the birth of the nation to the latest available handguns during the World War I.

Is It Still Good to Ya?
Author: Robert Christgau
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 1478002077
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
Is It Still Good to Ya? sums up the career of longtime Village Voice stalwart Robert Christgau, who for half a century has been America's most widely respected rock critic, honoring a music he argues is only more enduring because it's sometimes simple or silly. While compiling historical overviews going back to Dionysus and the gramophone along with artist analyses that range from Louis Armstrong to M.I.A., this definitive collection also explores pop's African roots, response to 9/11, and evolution from the teen music of the '50s to an art form compelled to confront mortality as its heroes pass on. A final section combines searching obituaries of David Bowie, Prince, and Leonard Cohen with awed farewells to Bob Marley and Ornette Coleman.
