Actually they don't make more money off actual print books. The overhead to produce print copies is quite a degree higher than most folks expect. That starts with just the basic cost of paper , bindery operations and the costs of flooring a suitable press.

Atlas Shrugged is relatively speaking easy to read , you have to be willing to put up with Rands nihilistic stance. Some research on Rand herself will highlight that stance and exactly the depth of her personal hypocrisies.

I've quit reading Lee Child , caught too many mistakes that could have been averted by some very cursory research. Many a mistake on military procedure , weapons and locations within the U.S.A.

Oh for crying out loud , wherein did I state that it precluded anyone whomsoever giving their opinion? Show me where , and I damn sure DO have a right to tell 'em they don't have a leg to stand on , even more so when they engage in hyperbole without any experience. And of course it doesn't...

And again with it , please show us ALL wherein I ever at any time advocated firearms ownership for everyone? A singular example will suffice. And you are going to deny the crimes of violence are you? When you remove the victims recourse to self defense you allow criminals a field day to...

Yeah right , I'm being too aggressive after being mischaracteised , having words put in my mouth , having borderline ad hominem aimed at me along with implied stupidity and hearing chapter an verse about firearms and defense from an individual who has quite likely no experience with either...

You're making assumptions again , do I seem to be unaware of what's going on in my own country? And ya might as well dispense with the " living in fear" garbage. Your constant reiteration on that one and it's attendant assumption rings quite hollow , as does the constant pontificating on "...

Sorry but Hitler *did* disarm the populace , starting first with those who might have opposed him. As did the other regimes I cited an many , many others.

UH HUH , you're dodging , the rise in violent crime in Great Britain is undeniable , as is the current trend towards the abrogation of the right to defend one's self , via ANY method.

Ya know something there CHILD , acting petulant and constantly indulging yourself with what is essentially borderline ad hominem really t'ain't a gonna get ya very far. And neither is your undercurrent of assumption that all Americans are basically stupid and lack knowledge of their own...

You really don't know much about the U.S. do you , especially the Western U.S. , which of course leads you to post hyperbole such as the above. Tell me Meadow , do I strike you as an individual who " peers fearfully from a window" , no bars here by the way. By the way , here , well we...

And the difference in population size is? Care to discuss the rise in violent crimes that don't utilise a firearm in the U.K.?

Wow , when I reread the above I'm amazed at the level of cognitive dissonance exhibited by an intelligent individual. A "few fascist states", perhaps the most abusive regimes the world has every seen are now merely a " few fascist states"? Name a fascist state that *hasn't* disarmed it's...

Austin homeboy , launched by Clifford Antone and one of the best of the current crop of Blues based young guns. A plug for Austin , almost inargueably the best " music town" left in the States , Nashville is nowhere nowadays what with the heavily over produced sound and a buncha country...

Now you're just being deliberately obtuse Meadow , gun control was part and parcel of what brought those states and individuals into power and helped them to maintain their power and abuse their people. The control of the populace in *every* case I cited was exacerbated and accomplished via...

“Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest. If we want the Arms Act to be repealed, if we want to learn the use of arms, here is a golden opportunity. If the middle classes render voluntary help to...

Prior to our proceeding any further. FIND and repost wherein I *EVER* made any such assertion. If you cannot do so then retract the above statement. After that we can get to what Gandhi actually said as regards firearms , along with the rest of your points. I like you Meadow , that said...

If you've noticed we haven't yet signed away our rights , there are millions here fighting to keep those rights. And sorry but the reality is that while " peace is not created at the end of a gun barrel" the paradox remains that at times the threat of lethal force can be a component of...

All due respect to you Meadow , but have you been out of South Africa? Look I'm not trying to bust your chops here , but you might have missed what I stated as regards my approaching this from a *professional* aspect , I won't go real far into it in an inherently non-secure environment but...

Sorry Meadow but you're wrong on that " most times" , in both those cases. And yes I speak from a professional point of view on this , and the reality is that at times all that will stop violence is the threat of tactically superior violence. You are also incorrect on the " conditioning"...
