So I do not want the anti guns works to be popular , quoted and used as a narrative why they are right. Understand that they are the enemy and propaganda is an effective tactic for either side.

The masses are not moved by legal treatises but by propaganda that seems right to them. Pro gun wins on the self defense argument since that fits with the masses conception. Anti gun gun wins with the idea that less guns is better.

So the less successful propaganda that Brady and their allies has the better.

But if we go out in droves we DO encourage them to write MORE books.

Larry Correia wrote Monster Hunter International, which is a pro-gun fiction. When gunnies bought his book in droves the money didn’t go to any pro-gun PAC, but Larry is now working on Monster Hunter 2.

If Dennis’ book sells well, he’ll write another. If anti-gun books sell well (Even if its the same mechanic why internet trolls generate traffic) publishers become more willing to publish anti-gun books from new Authors.

Of course market dynamics play a huge factor in larger model, but it can be seen that by putting money in Henigan’s and his publisher’s pockets could put more anti-gun books on bookstore shelves.

All that being said I own and have read several anti-gun books, all of them I still own, and most of them were bought first-hand or received as gifts from relatives.

I also deeply enjoy reading them as a means to challenge my beliefs (You’ll note I was once anti-gun but changed my mind, I would be a fool to claim I could not be convinced to swap sides again, and certainly means I don’t trust anything I see on its face as I’ve been fooled in the past) but also it helps me identify and defeat logical fallacies in face-to-face, or electronic arguments.

that’s why you buy used anti gun books. they don’t get residuals.
