Book Reviews of Boston's Gun Bible
Book Review: The Power of the Rifle
Summary: 5 Stars
Boston T. Party certainly covers all the bases on this one ! Pretty amazing book, when you consider the wide range of topics - battle rifles, preparing for TEOTWAWKI, a love of the .308 cartridge, the threat of an all controlling goverment, being armed to the teeth 24/7, gun politics, the lack of Patriots, circumventing the law, etc.
I consider myself pretty well armed, but Boston has a arsenal. Not many can afford such weaponry. But, to his credit, he includes a section on how to arm yourself on a budget, and he continually emphasizes that you must have a large amount of ammo, all the guns in the world are of absolutely no use if your ammo cache isn't up to snuff.
He downplays shotguns and handguns, he likes rifles and to a lesser extent carbines, and he loves to tell you about them! His book also describes the power of the overlooked hunting rifle, a good bolt action .308 or .30-06, with a nice scope is a deadly weapon. The bolt-action rifle doesn't get much attention these days, with everyone overloading their AR 15's with lights, red dots and other gadgets but if you are out in the wide open west, or rural farm land a good scoped rifle will dominate over any AK 47, or AR 15.
A lot of political discussion in this book - gun laws, the ATF, the FBI, Waco, Ruby Ridge, the danger of the Federal Goverment and it's frequent abuse of power, you name it . . . it is all talked about in this book.
Become a Rifleman! Be prepared, and stay vigilant !
Book Review: A valuable guide for any modern civil rights advocate
Summary: 5 Stars
Boston's Gun Bible is a valuable resource for anyone with the least awareness of the nature of our increasingly compromised liberty. Our elected officials pay a lot of lip service to the notions of liberty under which our once proud nation was founded, yet plot daily on how to strip the public of yet more of their freedom. In this sad state of affairs, the aware individual will see that at some point, the last shreds of the Constitution will inevitably be swept away, and that they must therefore decide now which side they will be on at the end of our republic: the side of the enslaved, or the side of the spiritual descendants of the minutemen who fought at Concord & Lexington green. This book is the manual for those who wish to be on the side of the right [which may or may not be the winning side in some future conflagration], but who have little time or money to waste learning things the hard way.
Even if you're as yet undecided as to your support in the fight for freedom this is a valuable read, as while it focuses on the practical, it also has some philosophical arguments that strip away the sophistry of the socialist left.
Last revised in 2002, this book is overdue for a new edition, if for no other reason than all the prices and the bulk of the URLs are hopelessly out of date.
I strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in the realpolitik confronting the patriotic U.S. citizen.
Book Review: Should be required reading for every teenager
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this book. I loved the technical information in it and all it has taught me, but I wish I had discovered the book way back when my daughter was a young teenager and my son was growing up. Though they turned into wonderful young adults, their growing years might have been less painful if they had discovered some of the wisdom of Boston T. Party (aka Kenneth Royce). I do believe the chapter on women and guns should be given out to every new mother as she leaves the hospital. After "Mom" reads it, she should then read it to her child every night! We'd have a lot fewer animals pretending to be humans in this country if our children were raised with the values Boston (Kenneth) brings to light - God, love of country, responsibility, right and wrong, etc. You know, the values those of us over 50 were raised with before the progressives made morals, ethics, integrity, and honesty dirty words.
Thank you, Kenneth. I'm going to be sending a copy of this book to my daughter to start reading to her two daughters!
I do wish you would do an entire book on guns just for women and novices. I'm only just beginning to learn and there is so much I would like to know. Most gun books start out assuming that the reader already knows about guns. I didn't. I had been afraid of them most of my life. Knowledge erases fear. Share you knowledge, Mr. Royce.
Book Review: Can I give it six stars?
Summary: 5 Stars
"Boston's Gun Bible" is, without a doubt, the very best book on firearms ever published. It is what a gun book SHOULD be: practical, honest, comprehensive, logical, intelligent, up-to-date, witty, accurate, and downright ENJOYABLE to read. (I swear I could NOT put it down for three days straight.) Jam-packed full of insightful information and analysis, this is an absolute "must have" for novices and professionals alike.So what's in it? If it has anything to do with firearms, "it's in there." There is WAY too little space here to provide a synopsis of the subject matter contained within, but suffice to say, every subject is presented with the honesty and intelligence only Boston can deliver. I would like to say that I especially liked his Kepner-Tregoe analysis, in which he down-selected comparable firearms using a quantitative ranking system. (The analysis alone would be worthy of a graduate thesis). But don't let this intimidate you; despite his intellectual (yet practical) approach to firearms, the book is very "hands-on" in every respect, and an easy (and extremely enjoyable) read for anyone interested in guns.
Boston, you really out did yourself this time. I can honestly say you rank right up there with the best of them (Jeff Cooper, Clint Smith, etc.). You're a true American.
Book Review: A review for a fellow Patriot...
Summary: 5 Stars
This review has been a long time coming. I should've written this when I first got the book brand new from Paladin years and years ago but alas, I hesitated until now. When I first got the book, I read it front to back. I had decided to get it after reading "Boston on surviving Y2k & other lovely disasters". I was hooked from that moment on. The sheer amount of information contained in "Boston's Gun Bible", coupled with the massive amount of insight from someone who obviously pracitces what he preaches is a true help in times when most authors "fly by night" with little information and lots of "it's been reported". From the sections from what catridges are the best choice for "X" game/2-legged critter, to the CCW laws of various states the guide covers literally everything. If I had any complaints to make, it would be: 1.) I'd like to see a post-ban (I love the fact that I can say that cosmetic law sunseted...) version of the book, 2.) A little bit more of reloading information, 3.) Tactics (Reloading, calling for fire/communication. 3.) An expanded version of ergonomics for us south-paws. I would highly reccomend that anyone interested in the past, present and future of our beloved "hobby" pick this book up. Support a fellow Patriot and someone who cares about your rights, even if he does/doesn't agree with your beliefs.
