[edit] Sources ?

The article seems to totally lack sources while it makes a number of bold statements. David.Monniaux 18:24, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Looked up the references and added them. John Ross is a rather bold fellow, and the statements largely parallel the thoughts in his novel. :-) Yaf 02:00, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] totallydisputed tag

I've tagged it for a couple reasons. The article is obviously sympathetic to Ross's ideas, such as the view of the American gun owner as persecuted, and it's written to paint him in a positive light. Factually, it's disputed because the article says that Charles Ross ran for congress in 2000, when charles ross's article says that he died in 1950. Also, the book was never explicitly banned in canada, only seized by customs (and canadian customs is known for vague standards). There are some ORish claims about his popularity that need work, but I figured one tag was enough. Night Gyr 06:19, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
