    Unintended Consequences[edit]​

    Unintended Consequences is a controversial novel that mixes real events with fiction. These events portray a continuing oppression of the American gun culture that, the author believes, has occurred since the passage of the National Firearms Act of 1934, which made it a federal offense to possess a machine gun, short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun, or silencer without first paying a $200 fee to the United States Treasury.

    The cover of the book shows a woman dressed as Lady Justice being menaced by a heavily armed agent of the ATF; it contains several scenes of graphic sex and violence. The book has been repeatedly confiscated in Canada by customs officials. The publisher no longer ships copies of the book to Canada as a result.[2]

    Its thesis, as discussed in the Author's Note - A Warning and Disclaimer, is that hostile bullying by a government will cause a revolt, and the revolt will be successful if the area involved is large enough, the area has a sufficiently distinct culture, and the rebels use low-tech leaderless resistance. It has sold briskly at gun shows but is generally not sold at traditional bookstores. (As of June 2009, the price for a new copy hovers around $120 and even used ones are priced at over $50 on auction sites because the publisher is almost sold out.)[3]

    In 2000, Ross had his lawyer write a letter to the ATF claiming that their agents harassed him for writing his book, threatened vendors for selling his book and approached his "amicably separated" wife to elicit information against him.[4]

    Also may be a posthumously published sequel:


    :cry: Wow... Just wow...

    I know that he is not the kind of person who'd fall for the clot shots. I wonder if it is complications from 'long COVID' that some sufferers have and has been discussed frequently. If so that is yet another 'NEVER FORGET NEVER FORGIVE' notch for the fucking CCP.

    Ross was one of the Elmer Keiths of our community. Like the posters on that forum are saying, I doubt that there are any serious gunnies who does not have a copy of UC, usually a hardcover and collector grade edition, as a main centerpiece. Prayers and words of encouragement for Tammy and everybody else in his life who are bearing this loss right now.
     
    Someone I know in my industry has been dealing with blood clots and also had the beer flu. Thanks, Fauci, for approving funding to the lab in Wuhan, China (documented fact) that brought us this. Good thing Fauci doesn't actually treat patients. The death toll would be higher.

    Good bless John Ross and his family.
     
    That'd be the only book I've read 3 times and plan on reading it a few more times. Never could find a reasonably priced copy but I did find a PDF copy.

    My first release hardback is priceless to me. I've had large dollars offered and I've turn it down.

    So much for me wanted to get it autographed....
