Video of Halbrook Testimony on Holder

Via the Independent Institute, here is the C-SPAN video of Stephen Halbrook's testimony against Obama AG nominee Eric Holder.

You will also find the full text of Halbrook's testimony by clicking on the link provided beneath the video segment.

Stephen Halbrook, of course, is the author of The Founders' Second Amendment--Origins of the Right to Bear Arms.

On Bill of Rights Day in December, the Independent Institute launched the Second Amendment Book Bomb in order to promote Halbrook's book. The Book Bomb has been and continues to be a monumental success, propelling the book to best-seller status.

The goal is the make the book Number One on the New York Times' bestseller list. This will be possible if enough people promote and buy the book. Be sure to click on the links above for all of the details.
