Recently, I read Unintended Consequences by John Ross. AFAIC, this book should be required reading for any gun owner. While it is a work of fiction, there are many historical events that are accurately portrayed and discussed throughout the book.
I thouroughly enjoyed it and will be buying a copy (the one I read was a library book) very soon.
I'm sure some of y'all have read this one but here's a Wikipedia summary for those that may not have heard of if.

Thanks for the heads up on the book kenpotex. I think I'll go to the library this week and see if they have it.
I've not been on this forum in some time. My old laptop crapped out and I lost my bookmarked pages, this forum being one I didn't get back on until just a little while ago after getting a message from the mods here.

Hey Brownie, I definately understand the computer problems thang...I've been going through that myself the last couple of months (lost all my favorites, etc...grrrrrr).
I've only been back up and running for about a week so I've got a lot of catching up to do on all the forums I frequent. I'll plan to stop by yours sometime soon.

It gets a little fantastical towards the end, and there is some very heavy handed foreshadowing, but on the whole a good read.
Great history of the gun culture if nothing else.
