    The comments almost make the publication of such a stupid book worth while.

  2. My personal favorite “…Most people who buy and read books do not open carry, or should I say most people who promote open carry do not buy and read books…”

    Excellent comments! Love the snark in so many of them. I agree with Sandy Havens that the comments make the publication of such a stupid book worth while 🙂

  4. Plenty more comments in the lefty British newspaper The Guardian (where I get a lot of my news):

    http://www.theguardian.com/books/2014/aug/04/pro-gun-picture-book-children-my-parent-open-carry

    “The title has drawn a host of positive reviews, according to the authors’ website (where they add that “for a limited time only, White Feather Press is giving away a free copy of the fun book Raising Boys Feminists Will Hate! by Doug Giles, with every purchase of My Parents Open Carry in book form. That’s a $15.99 value!”).”

    “Raising Boys Feminists Will Hate”– boys who will beat a barefoot pregnant woman and then tell her to go get them a sandwich?

    They forgot the subtitle:

    “And I Am Much More Likely to of a Gunshot Wound than My Friends Whose Parents Accessorize with Jewelry”

    There, fixed it!

    *Die of a Gunshot Wound

    ” With the notable lack of a Seussian rhyming meter (because this s*** is serious, and nothing rhymes with “AK-47″)…”

    LOLOLOL

    Bravo, Amazon reviewers!

    Someday Girl: Challenge Accepted!

    “An AK-47 is the way to sporty heaven,”
    Said Dick Strong to his wife and helpmate, Bea.
    “With Obama in command no white mama in the land
    Is safe in her own house, nor even Free.”

    “Our little baby girl, in the middle of this world
    Must learn gunplay if she ever wants to halt
    The loss of our majority to the cross of a minority
    With the liberals, who hate Jesus and John Galt.”

    “How wise you are, my honey. Their lies aren’t very funny
    As they try to take your guns away from you,”
    Said Bea Strong to her man, who belonged to the Klan
    Back when the Commie threat came from the Jew.

    In the thick part of the night, when Dick’s heart got a fright
    He drew his gun and shot a prowling crook.
    He did, with lethal force, shoot his own kid, of course,
    But they’ll never print THAT in a Wingnut book!

    Gotta love an open carry kid’s book, where the dad is named Dick Strong.

  11. Marge Wood says:

    Okay, PKM and others, you too can put together a book and publish it pretty much free on Create Space on Amazon. I dare you.

  12. e platypus onion says:

    Wingnuts should absolutely refuse to open carry because they hate gubmint regulations. Obama has no business telling us to open carry and we just aren’t gonna do it,just to spite the Kenyan. For that matter we will all turn in our guns just to spite the Kenyan even more. That will learn him a lesson!

    “After saying our prayers to Jesus and Charlton Heston…” The bedtime story goes awry ending up in the ER and a shootout at the hospital, only to have their house robbed and a gun stolen. This guy should write his own bedtime book. Absolutley hysterical.

  14. daChipster says:

    “Raising Boys Feminists Will Hate…. a $15.99 value.”

    Unless, of course, a woman wrote it. Then it’s only a $12.31 value.

  15. Priceless! Loved the comments on Amazon AND all the comments here. Still laughing.

  16. My initial reading of this is it has got to be a satire written specifically to engender these reactions. Looking at the pricing on the book is enough to make one scratch ones head, used is more expensive that new etc., etc. The whole page has got to be a prank. I will now go see what Colbert had to say about this.

  17. Marge Wood says:

    daChipster, how could I have overlooked your lyrical poetry? Maybe you and PKM could get together and make a nice book for fund raisers.

  18. “My parents are so afraid that they carry lethal weapons everywhere they go, and they want to make me afraid too!”

    19
  19. “Once I got past the dad’s name, “Dick Strong” I had to keep reminding myself not to ask whether that was an additional gun in his pocket or if he was just glad to see us! Ah irony, thy next door neighbor must be a right-wing-nut.”

  20. I hate to be owned by a hoaxer, but I’d prefer to be hoaxed that continue to believe this book actually exists.

    21
  21. As usual this book envisions a situation in which a parent–probably the big Dick–gets to play a John Wayne role and rescue his family from evil doers.

    The problem with that scenario is that real shoot-outs aren’t scripted and bullets do not care where they go or who they end up in. I remember one guy who said that if he had to shoot in his own home he would be sure to use bullets that wouldn’t go through the floors or walls–BBs, presumably. And no word on how he would persuade the bad guys to do likewise.

    There you go again,Lynn. Messing up a wingnut wet dream scenario with facts. Good job!

  23. Elise Von Holten says:

    Sigh. “Pete the Cat” has nothing to worry about, unless this book fires (accidentally, of course) indiscriminately and gives him an extra belly button, which would of course ruin his sneakers with blood stains and probably break his cool sunglasses in the ensuing chaos.
    My son in law hunts, and after telling my daughter to go read the 2nd amendment, she came back chastised and wanting to know where the well-organized militias were…she got my point completely. These nuts won’t and there will be more dead children…always more dead children

  24. Lynn N #22: That’s why I advocate a shotgun for home defense. Shotgun pellets come out in a nice grouping, especially if you are pretty close to the perp (aim for the middle of the body). Makes a mess in the room, but doesn’t imperil your neighbors.
