Jack's book exposed the nra as the right wing claptrap it was back then, with donations to congress people like wayne lapierre-head, and most all of his views haven't really changed that much in 20 years.
Here's a friendly review. Most others it seems are from rabid right wing attack dogs, some of whom no doubt were sicced upon jack by the n-r-a = in good part Nutty Rightwingers Armed

I believe in 95% of the information and numerous sources that Mr. Anderson uses to make his case, which is this - the NRA is consolidating and perhaps increasing its political power in Washington D.C. but it is RAPIDLY losing the confidence of the general public.
Mr. Anderson has an objective view toward sensible gun legislation. He does not advocate registration, or confiscation, or any other ultra-radical anti-gun stance. However, he does expose the NRA for what they appear to be - ultra-conservative, ultra-right radicals, who are unwilling to compromise on, or even suggest sensible gun legislation and/or safety measures that would benefit the average citizen, without comprimising their rights, constitutional or otherwise.
