The Right to Bear Arms: After the Riots Begin

Warning to readers, this book will be considered controversial and not politically correct by liberals and socialists. It is as much political treatise as a story of survival. If you do not believe in God, country and family, you might not like this book. With gun control and the fiscal cliff in the headlines, this book is very timely and relavant. Who could have seen this coming? Many people including myself did and that is why I wrote this story, to warn people of what could happen to this country if we stay on the present course. This book is not for the weak of heart, it is about survival and includes guns, death, blood and guts. The hero is a general surgeon, like myself, but all the characters and events are just imaginary and fictional but the medical scenes depected here are exactly as they would be in real life and things I do and have done in my practice. Taken from headlines from Hurricane Katrina and now Sandy, hospitals are particularly affected when the lights go out. Hard decisions have to be made and people die. And people stand in the streets and shout at the cameras for the govenment to come to their rescue and take care of them instead of being prepared and helping themselves. And as our government continues to spend itself into huge deficits we cannot recover from and the politicians refuse to do what is needed to fix it, the scenario depicted here is as much common sense as fiction. I tried to tell a story as true to life as I could while making it as interesting as possible, so the resulting story is a fusion of political reality and fiction. That being said, the story itself is about how the US economy collapses after America defaults on its loans to foreign countries. When the government is no longer able to send out checks widespread riots break out all across the country. Dr. Edwards is caught up in the riots in North Mississippi, just outside Memphis, Tn. He along with a few others are trapped inside while the violence rages on and destruction surrounds the hospital. As the riots rage on they struggle to save themselves and their patients. Dr. Edwards must also make sure his family is safe and try to rejoin them when and if he along with some of his coworkers can escape the riots. Everyone surrounding the cities must cope with the effects of the mass exodus of people trying to escape the violence. Along with close friends and members of his own family, Dr. Edwards must come to grips with the aftermath of the riots and deal with the Takers and the refugees alike.
