Title	Review by Michael (from 0 to 7 bullets)
	I have said this many times and will continue to say it: don’t expect the police to protect you and your loved ones in an emergency. Until they develop the ability to see into the future, they will come after the fact and you may expect them to investigate — but your life is in your hands. That brings us to the Minority Report In this motion picture we are carried away into America’s future and we meet Tom Cruise’s character, the head of a special pre-crime unit. Tom’s team uses psychic visions of the future to stop violent crimes before the time they are to happen. The trouble starts when it is predicted that Tom’s character will commit murder. As he begins to discover that the “perfect” system isn’t so perfect, the action starts! Since I like futuristic stories, I’ll give this 5 out of 7 bullets.

BOOKS

As I read these, I’ll post reviews here. Again, I’ve always believed in my right to have adequate self-defense but I’m only now studying the matter in detail…

Title	Review by Michael (from 0 to 7 bullets)
	This is a little book. Its dimensions are about the size of a printed photo and it’s only 63 pages followed by a long detailed list of sources and several pages of ads promoting other books and media from the publisher. The book was written to prove that our Constitution does, in fact, protect the individual citizen’s right to keep and bear arms. The case is made that “the first law of nature” is self-defense/self-preservation. I find comfort in the fact that the Founding Fathers agreed with me that no other right matters if I’m not alive to worry about it. In fact, this book is full of quotes by early Americans that agree with my position on this issue. For example, on page 31 an old Virginia law is mentioned that declared that the government would put up the money to purchase a firearm for anyone who was too poor. This is in complete harmony with a post I wrote recently. The examination of our right to keep and bear arms is broken into four parts: early legal commentaries, the Founding Fathers’ views, early State laws (legislative acts), and State Constitutions. All of these parts are stuffed with material that clearly makes the case for the citizen’s duty to protect himself, his family, and his community. Finally, the author concludes by explaining that if the people decide that a change to the Constitution is needed, that change is to be made by an Amendment. No other change is valid. And, the solution to crime is not to infringe on our rights but to raise our children to be citizens with good moral character. That can only be achieved through religion and education. I give this 6 out of 7 bullets because, although I liked the presentation very much, I can’t give it a perfect score when I have many other books on the subject to read and there might be better ones out there.
	I’ve just started this one. It also is a small book like The Second Amendment by David Barton but it has more pages (107) in the meat of the book. Written by an NRA executive, The Essential Second Amendment Guide is the NRA’s response to those who claim that the Second Amendment, unlike the other Amendments in the Bill of Rights, does not apply to individuals.
