‘A Treatise on 2nd Amendment Rights in the 21st Century’ Dismantles Decades of Extremist Propaganda in U.S. Gun Control Debate
Newly published book takes bold look at how extremist rhetoric gets in the way of sane gun laws

Asheville, NC- August 1, 2016 — The Second Amendment, and subsequent gun control debate, has now succumbed to the most polarized extremist ideologies since slavery. At its current pace, it will continue to follow slavery’s path. These ideologies are fueled by the conflicting fears of government tyranny and domestic terrorism, along with a renewed sense of religious conflict. Many people follow one or the other of these extremist ideologies on pure emotion, without ever questioning facts or sound logic.

“When I first started to research what the actual current interpretations of the Second Amendment were, I found so much conflicting information – I couldn’t make heads or tails of any of it,” Hawk explained. “Somewhere along the line it seemed someone had the ‘baffle them with bullshit’ philosophy and much of that bullshit stuck.”

A Treatise on 2nd Amendment Rights in the 21st Century goes beyond the prevalent extremist bias and is a logic-based pursuit of the facts, as well as a fair, balanced and often comical read to which anyone, including those who hate guns, can relate. Hawk applied his investment-related economic analysis background involving research and an “un-spinning” of biased media stories for a thorough evaluation of the evolution of Second Amendment rights and to dissect the gun debate once and for all.

The scope of the Second Amendment right is evaluated from three intertwined perspectives; the evolution of the right itself, the actual need to have the right as evaluated through changes in scope of the militia and the military, and the people’s perceptions of the right as a result of both legislation and the media.

One reviewer states, “[Hawk] has written a book that 100 years from now will be remembered as the book a nation truly needed… read this great work from Doug Hawk before you say another word about guns in this country.”

Part I is broken down by a chronological history of the evolution of the right and the subsequent legislation and events which have dramatically affected the right. Part II covers the concept of insurrection, religion and the media in relation to the Second Amendment right along with an evaluation of specific points of issue and major players in the current gun control debate. The conclusion offers a logic based framework for gun legislation policies going forward.

A Treatise on 2nd Amendment Rights in the 21st Century is a pilgrimage down a path towards the heart of the Second Amendment right and it is a journey “we the people” are long overdue to take. If you wish to embark on such a journey, it can begin at www.treatiseon2ndamendment.com.
