FNP 086 David Harsanyi First Freedom

My guest today is a senior editor at The Federalist and is also a nationally syndicated columnist.  His work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal, National Review, and the Washington Post.  He has appeared on Fox News, CNN, ABC, NBC and other talk shows or podcasts.  And finally, my guest has written three books including the one we are talking about today. David Harsanyi's latest book is "First Freedom: A Ride Through America's Enduring History with the Gun" and was released earlier this month.  If there was a book that represented the cause and feeling of my show and channel, Firearms Nation, "First Freedom" comes very close.  It's a book I found to be a good read and took value in all the historical facts. I have a good idea on the origins of several iconic firearms but I was impressed at the lessons included in the book that superimposed how those firearms came to be.  America has a history wrapped in firearms and a right of self-defense.
