Confiscation rarely begins with a knock at the door. It begins with pressure points — property seized, children leveraged, utilities withheld, neighbors coerced into informing. In The Second Amendment: Under Attack From All Angles, Arthur R. Thompson shows how enemies of liberty exploit these tactics to dismantle not only gun rights but the entire framework of God-given rights. Tracing from the Declaration of Independence through the Constitution, Thompson demonstrates that no right is “paramount.” Religion, assembly, property, press, and arms are all interlocked; when one is eroded, the rest soon follow. He names how Marxist ideologues, globalists, and political opportunists drive crises — from open borders to foreign entanglements — to justify new restrictions. Chapters document the methods: turning children against parents through schools, seizing property to compel compliance, deploying emergencies to suspend rights, and transforming the republic into a managed democracy. Historical episodes — Nazi Austria, Soviet Russia, and modern globalist schemes — serve as warnings of how quickly a people can be disarmed when they misunderstand or surrender their rights. Thompson presses the point that education without understanding is no safeguard. Americans must grasp not just what the Constitution says, but why it was written as it was. Only then can they resist the creeping usurpations that diminish both the Second Amendment and the broader liberties on which a free society rests. For readers determined to preserve their inheritance of freedom, this book provides both the map and the alarm. (2021ed, pb, 138pp)
