   I am a gun owner and was interested in reading about how the AR-15   
   came to be. So I got a book called "The American Gun, the story of   
   the AR-15".   
      
   Good thing I picked it up at the library instead of reading the   
   glowing reviews on Amazon (although there were some real reviews   
   rated at 1 star, most of them were glowing).   
      
   Within reading the prologue, I could tell this book was written by   
   people who want to ban guns. The first part follows how Eugene   
   Stoner came up with the weapon. The last 2/3rds are devoted to   
   hysterical liberals who want to ban the bad things. One of the 1   
   star reviews notes that "the writing is so slanted, they were   
   suprised it didn't slide off the table when they set it down."   
      
   If I would have went by the reviews and purchased this because I   
   wanted to know more about the AR-15, it would have been a waste of   
   money due to the liberal slant of the writers.   
      
   Have a great day!
