Control: Exposing the Truth About Guns Paperback – April 30, 2013

Don’t miss the #1 bestselling book Control from radio and TV personality Glenn Beck, a passionate, fact-based case for guns that reveals why gun control isn’t really about controlling guns at all; it’s about controlling us.

When our founding fathers secured the Constitutional “right of the people to keep and bear arms,” they also added the admonition that this right SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

It is the only time this phrase appears in the Bill of Rights. So why aren’t more people listening?

History has proven that guns are essential to self-defense and liberty—but tragedy is a powerful force and has led many to believe that guns are the enemy, that the Second Amendment is outdated, and that more restrictions or outright bans on firearms will somehow solve everything.

They are wrong.

In Control, Glenn Beck takes on and debunks the common myths and outright lies that are often used to vilify guns and demean their owners:

The Second Amendment is ABOUT MUSKETS...GUN CONTROL WORKS in other countries...40 percent of all guns are sold without BACKGROUND CHECKS...More GUNS MEAN more MURDER...Mass shootings are becoming more common...These awful MASSACRES ARE UNIQUE TO AMERICA...No CIVILIAN needs a “weapon of war” like the AR-15...ARMED GUARDS in schools do nothing, just look at Columbine...Stop FEARMONGERING, no one is talking about TAKING YOUR GUNS AWAY. 

Backed by hundreds of sources, this handbook gives everyone who cares about the Second Amendment the indisputable facts they need to reclaim the debate, defeat the fear, and take back their natural rights.

Glenn Beck: Founding Fathers on the Second Amendment

by T. Jefferson

Wednesday, Mar 12, 2008 at 1:10 PM EST

GLENN: All right. I told you a minute ago that, you know, the problem with schooling, public schooling is they are not teaching the truth anymore and our law schools are not even teaching the truth anymore. They are teaching case study. They are not teaching founding principles, what our founding fathers said. There wouldn’t be an argument on anything, gun rights, there wouldn’t be an argument. You know, they had this conversation, about common, what does it mean. Here’s what you do. You go back and look at the words of our founding fathers. What did they say? May I quote the founding fathers. We’re going to send these out, we’ll give you all the sources and everything else. But let me quote the founding fathers and what they said about gun rights. You tell me. If you’ve ever learned this in school and if there’s any doubt in your mind what the intent was of the founding fathers. First, Thomas Jefferson: No Freeman shall ever be disbarred from the use of arms. Arms in the hands of citizens may be used at individual discretion in private self-defense, John Adams. The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed with Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, where the Government are afraid to trust their people with arms, James Madison. Arms discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue if the law-abiding were deprived the use of private arms, Thomas Payne. Laws that forbid the carrying of arms disarm only those who are neither inclined, nor determined to commit crimes. Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants. They serve rather to encourage than prevent homicides from an unarmed man, may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man, Thomas Jefferson. Put that one in your pipe and smoke it when you’re talking about arming people in schools. A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves. They include all men capable of bearing arms. To preserve liberty is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms and be taught alike how to use them, Richard Henry Lee. The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms, Samuel Adams. I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people. To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them, George Mason.

Now, you tell me that’s being taught in public schools. That would never be taught in public schools. When we start to ban the words of our own founding fathers, when we start omitting their words and their intent, we are in trouble. My children in homeschooling will learn those words.

Glenn Beck: Obama’s Gun Control Action Will Lead to ‘Back Alley,’ ‘Black Market’ Doctors

Jan. 5, 2016 2:11pm Tré Goins-Phillips

Rather than curb gun violence, Glenn Beck believes President Barack Obama’s executive action on gun control will ultimately lead to “back alley” and “black market” doctors.

Beck’s comments came in response to the president’s executive action regarding mental health of potential gun purchasers, which will bypass privacies guaranteed in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 by calling on doctors to report mentally ill patients to the FBI.

In an effort to block mentally ill individuals from obtaining a firearm, the new executive order will remove all barriers that could block health care providers from reporting patients with some type of mental illness, according to the White House.

“Think about the things this is going to create black markets for,” Beck said Tuesday on The Glenn Beck Radio Program.

According to Beck, this new provision will lead to lapsed medical care for some — meaning an increase in suicide and depression — and force others to take drastic measures, even turning to “black market” doctors who will keep individuals’ diagnoses under wraps in order to protect their Second Amendment rights.

Beck said that the government will know “everything,” adding that many parents have taken their children to see a psychiatrist for things like depression and attention deficit disorder.

“Now, if you’re a gun owner and you know that the government is going to find out that your son or daughter or you or your wife is going in for medication for depression or whatever and you know that once that’s reported, the government will come in and take your guns, how many people are going to say, ‘No, no, let’s not go to a doctor. Let’s not go to a doctor right now. Let’s make sure that we can’t handle this ourselves’?” Beck asked.

Beck recalled speaking with soldiers whom he told not to sign documents indicating they have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because “the government is going to take away your guns.” With the executive orders the president announced Tuesday, the radio host says that may now come true — unless “back alley medicine” expands.

“This will become back alley medicine for people with depression,” Beck said. “People with kids who are having problems, they will look for doctors who will not report anything.”
