The MISSION: Join forces with millions of pro-gun Americans and buy this book now, today, Monday, December 15, 2008.

THE GOAL: To drive this book up to the Number One sales rank on Amazon.com, through a massive surge of one-day orders.

THE REASON: To send a message to the mass media and the Obama administration that Americans know their gun rights, care about their gun rights, and intend to stand up for their gun rights.

THE BOOK: The Founders’ Second Amendment: Origins of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms by Stephen P. Halbrook

Book Cover: Stephen Halbrook's The Founder's Second Amendment

At this writing, Halbrook’s book has already climbed to #293 on Amazon.com. I bought my copy. Please buy yours now!

Dr. Stephen P. Halbrook, a leading Second Amendment scholar and attorney, played a key role in this year’s landmark pro-gun ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court (District of Columbia v. Heller, 2008).

Theroux, e-mailed the results to me the following morning (Tuesday, 12.16.08). However, I did not get around to posting them until now. Sorry about that! Overall, Dr. Halbrook’s book The Founder’s Second Amendment reached an Amazon sales rank of #140 and a Barnes and Noble rank of #105. At Amazon.com, its performance by category was as follows:

#1: Law

#1: Civil Rights and Liberties

Congratulations, Dr. Halbrook, and good luck!
