USA – -(Ammoland.com)- “Skyhorse Publishing is about to release my next book, which is devoted to great and fatal government-caused disasters. The title is …. ‘I’m From the Government, and I’m Here to Kill You: The Human Cost of Official Negligence,’” attorney and author David T. Hardy informed AmmoLand Shooting Sports News Thursday. “Texas City, the Tuskegee Syphilis study, Ruby Ridge, Waco, Fast and Furious, the VA hospital scandal – time after time, government employees kill Americans by negligence, stupidity, or agency corruption, and time after time they escape all legal accountability.”
Hardy’s should be a familiar name to longtime readers of this columnist’s work. His contributions to advancing the right to keep and bear arms have been chronicled extensively on The War On Guns blog, which has over the years featured numerous posts on his numerous books, his groundbreaking “In Search of the Second Amendment” documentary, his observations on the Of Arms & the Law blog, and his legal work, including cases and law review articles.
By way of complete disclosure, Mr. Hardy has represented my interests in legal actions to obtain information from the government and is part of what a U.S. Attorney who came on board during the Obama administration has pejoratively described as “a tangled web of connections between a small cadre of firearms activists.”
I’ll offer one other stipulation, just to make sure all cards are on the table so that any recommendations I make can be viewed with the appropriate skepticism the words of everyone with an agenda (admitted or otherwise) should be: I haven’t read the book.
That’s because it hasn’t been released yet.
“The publisher informs me that the book may be released 1-2 weeks before the official Amazon release date of October 10,” Hardy advises. “Amazon will begin shipping as soon as they receive the books, and October 10 only reflects the publisher’s guarantee that Amazon will have them by that date come hell or high water. The publisher tries to beat that date by a week or two.”
So why make noise about it now?
Because you can pre-order it. And because with some authors, I have confidence and faith based on past experience. So I’d like to start the buzz on this immediately, to prime gun owner rights advocates to be ready for the release by learning about the book now. As such, here are some resources you are invited to check out (and to share with those you think would be interested):
Note the website includes links to pre-order form Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

The below appearing paragraph is excerpted from the above article. Please take particular note of the quotation, from an unnamed U.S. Attorney. Speaking of “tangled webs”, how come no mention of the at least equally tangled web of connections that exists between those Anti Gun Activists, or is one to accept that “tangled webs” are to be found only among pro gun/pro gun rights people, or “activists”. By the way, while I could wrong here, how come it seems that this unnamed U.S. Attorney seems to attach a pejorative ring to the term “activist”, when such persons hold a view… Read more »
I am ashamed to say that the government I swore to uphold and defend against all enemies both foreign and domestic has been going down the wrong road for far too long. I gave 20 years to my country, it has left me. I left my country because it left me, and now reside abroad. Until things change I shall never return.
there’s an anti gun Gil and there’s a pro gun gil. you not referring to me aren’t you.
SOmebody send a copy to DOnald Trump?
Just now placed my order for Mr. Hardy’s book. Thanks, David, for the heads up.
I’ve heard too many times from government agencies of all levels, “We don’t have to answer to the people. We work for the government.” And, far more often than not, that’s exactly the case.

All government to the local level is no different than the Mafia. It’s just legalized extortion and murder. With the mafia it’s illegal. You may say that can’t be but every day you see it on the news. Police get away with murder, but not just them it’s at all levels to those that the government allows to carry weapons as part of their job. As far as the extortion, well I’m sure everyone has heard of speed traps and a Search Road Blocks. How about cities having to meet budget or new equipment, best way is to sic the… Read more »
