Or to argue with another friend who wants to buy a single-shot Remington Fireball so he can go out and shoot cops from a safe distance?

• ...Cops just surrounding me with pistols everywhere.
  They put me in the backseat of their car handcuffed,
  Pushed out them chests like they're big rough and tough.
  A cop come and said 'You'll never sell your guns now.'
  I said 'It doesn't matter, you'll sell them anyhow.
  You take the guns from me, you sell them for a fee;
  Anyway you put it, they'll get in the city!'

• Beautifully written, intensely passionate and gripping, FALLEN grabbed me
  from the first sentence and didn’t let go. Its eerie future world and
  frightening mores provide an unforgettable backdrop to the story of Lilia
  Desjardins, the shade-hunter, and fallen-angel turned cop, Adam Montgomery.
  It’s Matrix, Blade Runner and Terminator rolled into a riveting love story
  and made better. Perfect. A must-read by an author who keeps you on the
  edge of your seat.

• I have yet to hear anyone afflicted with the "gun control" disability dial 9-1-1 and specify, "Now please be sure to send the kind of cops who are disarmed. If you can't do that, we'd rather you not send anyone at all to stop the men who are holding my daughter at knifepoint, because in this household we don't believe that guns ever solve anything."
