Guns For Christmas - Michael Delphy Hunt - Bog

Guns For Christmas: Blistering Novel Creates New "Anthem" for Both Sides of Second Amendment Debate. Finally, a New Dialogue Opens... Michael Delphy Hunt's 'Guns for Christmas' brings both sides of the Second Amendment debate together - to open a mature and measured dialogue on protecting and preserving Second Amendment rights, while fighting for all to use their guns responsibly. Wrapped up in a fictional story, Hunt's latest release breaks new ground at a time when civil discord has never been fiercer, and as the nation prepares to vote for its next Commander-in-Chief. For Immediate Release "Even Santa feels safer when he's packing a Grunwald 20-47," so begins Guns For Christmas, a timely, and thought-provoking novel that examines Second Amendment rights and limitations in a gritty, no-holds barred manner. Further, Guns For Christmas tackles youth gun violence, and its tragic aftermath. Sixteen days before Christmas, Thomas Watson purchases a gun for his son, Alex, a second year law student. Alex questions the constitutional parameters of The Second Amendment, and the wisdom of gun ownership and use. Miles away, Lonesome Graves, a vengeful soul, kills a gifted youth in a senseless act of gun violence. Appalled, Marcellus Howard, pastor of an inner-city church, organizes GRIP (Gun Reclamation Initiative Program), designed to reclaim guns, and reduce gun violence. After pastor Howard debates GRIP's merits on a syndicated radio show, he attracts the interest of Buddy Tate, an outspoken Second Amendment advocate who believes GRIP must be stopped at all costs. His friend, Newton, disagrees. As Christmas draws near, and GRIP gathers momentum, Mercy Johnson, an old acquaintance visits pastor Howard, and threatens to reveal a shocking secret from their collective past. Suspicious of the reason behind Mercy Johnson and pastor Howard's reunion, investigative reporter Stella Rojas searches for the truth, and is disturbed by what she discovers. Despite media scrutiny, pastor Howard engages Police Special Agent Ashley Cross to protect others threatened by Lonesome Graves. Nevertheless, due to the efforts of pastor Howard and others, five days pass with minimal gun violence, and no youth deaths by gun. Yet, at sometime, even peace in town must end. When each major character awakens on Christmas Eve he/she believes the next twenty-four hours will be memorable. The climax of Guns For Christmas validates their beliefs, as their lives intersect in ways both imagined, and never conceived. Ultimately, some will celebrate Christmas; others will not. Guns For Christmas is both a cautionary tale of the destructive and far-reaching consequences of gun violence and decade-old secrets, and a prophetic story of hope through confession, redemption, and love. The prose from Guns For Christmas, The Framers Knew (for Second Amendment advocates), and Love Outweighs Bullets (for those concerned about gun violence) will be embraced as new national anthems for those points of view. Guns For Christmas will endure as the novel that opened a civil dialogue on protecting and preserving Second Amendment rights, while highlighting that When Guns are Operated Responsibly, We All Live Better and Safer.
