Subject: Gun Facts 5.0 is now available
Gun Facts version 5.0 is now posted at the Gun Facts web site,
www.GunFacts.info.
Get electronic copies: Three types of
electronic copies are available:
SCREEN: Best one for saving to your hard
drive or loading into your mobile device for daily use.
PRINT: Best for
running off copies on your printer -- or your employers printer ;->
PRESS:
Used for printing mass quantities through a print shop.
Get printed copies: A link on the home page (just below
the electronic copies) takes you to a one-off print service through which you
can buy bound copies of Gun Facts at cost (well, rounded up to the nearest
fifty-cents).
Pass the word:
Gun Facts readers have on average 23 gun-rights friends, and several anti-gun
friends and family members. Send them email and suggest they download
copies as well. This word-of-mouth is the primary reason that each edition
of Gun Facts has an estimated global distribution of over a million
copies. If possible, please send them to
the Gun Facts web site as opposed to sending them a copy as an attachment - this
has a number of interesting effects within Google's page ranking
system.
Tell online
groups: I'll post notices about Gun Facts 5.0 on a handful of top
newsgroups, but you participate in all other online groups (conservative,
libertarian, gunny, political, etc.). Post a message there announcing Gun
Facts 5.0 (an example of a newsgroup blurb is below -- feel free to rewrite or
amplify -- personal endorsements are effective in promoting anything, including
Gun Facts).
Link back: Do you have
a gun-related web site or even a personal blog? Please post a link to
www.GunFacts.info with some surrounding information (such as the blurb
below). This will help drive more traffic to the Gun Facts web site and
get more copies into circulation.
News
prep: I'm releasing Gun Facts 5.0 now in preparation for the Heller v. D.C. Supreme Court decision, likely
to be handed down this week. Keep tabs on what reporters are writing, and
send them email suggesting they get a copy of Gun Facts. Odds are the
Heller case will create decades of lower court wrangling on the topic of
"reasonable regulation" of gun rights, and an educated reporter is a valuable
asset.
Ads and donations: On the
Gun Facts web site, you will see some Google ads in the right-hand margin, and a
donation link in the top-right. If you see an interesting ad, click it --
doing so drives business to gun-related vendors and it also sends me a few
pennies. And if you want to donate to the cause (which is going to need
some help in the post-Heller world), click on the donate button and toss a few
bucks this way.
Yours in Liberty

newsgroup posting (blurb) announcing Gun Facts version
5.0
Gun Facts version 5.0 is now available
A new
version of Gun Facts is now available, both as a free e-book and as a printed
version.
Gun Facts debunks all common gun control myths. Organized by gun
control myths and with over 480 detailed citations, firearm policy wonks can
rapidly refute the Brady Campaign, the Violence Policy Center, the Legal
Community Against Violence, and other cauldrons of canards.
Gun Facts 5.0
has 94 packed pages of information. Gun Facts is grouped into chapters on common
gun control topics (assault weapons, ballistic finger printing, firearm
availability, international, etc.) which make finding usable information quick
and easy. The detailed table of contents reduces searching, and being an e-book,
Gun Facts can be keyword searched as well.
Each chapter lists common gun
control myths, and for each myth lists a number of documented and cited facts
(with over 480 detailed footnotes from highly credible sources) that directly
dispute the gun control claim. Thus when a neighbor, editor or politician
repeats some slogan propagated by the gun control industry, you can quickly find
that myth then rebuke with real information. Beware -- this tends to tick them
off.
The Heller v. D.C. gun ban case may send us into decades of
lower-court debates over “reasonable regulation” of firearm ownership. Gun Facts
will continue to be updated and published to give you the ammo you need to
continue defending the rights of all people around the world.
