There are many of us, including more than a few on this list, who do, not see this book as chilling but as everyday America. Out here in flyover country guns are as much a part of the landscape as pickup trucks. Nothing chilling about that to me. Anyway, Amazon still has $6.99 copies (free shipping on orders over $25.) I bought two more today to use as gifts for family members, who appreciate firearms and the fact that normal looking (and not so normal looking) people own them.
