Mothers understand the stakes. Whether you're a gun owner, a strong supporter of gun rights, or someone trying to make sense of the national conversation, there's room at the table for you. That’s why I’m partnering with Moms Demand Action to host a book club discussion in Flemington, New Jersey, on my book, A Simple Guide to the Second Amendment.

This event is for everyone—those who cherish their right to carry and those who have questions about what that right really means.

Why This Book?

Formerly titled How to Talk About Guns With Anyone, this award-winning guide breaks down the Second Amendment in plain English—no legal jargon, no lectures, and no political posturing. The goal? A civil, informed conversation about one of the most misunderstood amendments in our Constitution.

This book has been honored with multiple national awards, including:

  • IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award – Silver Winner (Reference Category), 2024
    A prestigious honor recognizing editorial and design excellence in independently published books, presented by the Independent Book Publishers Association since 1985.

  • Reader Views Reviewers Choice Award – Gold Winner

  • Reader Views Grand Prize Award – Non-Fiction Winner, 2023

  • Readers' Favorite Book Award – 5 Stars

  • Feathered Quill Book Award – Finalist (Self-Help & Informational Categories), 2024

  • American Book Fest – Best Book Awards Finalist, 2023

If you’ve ever felt left out of the conversation—or unsure how to start one—this event is your chance to join in.

A Shared Focus on Safety

If you're a gun owner, this book honors your rights while also supporting responsible ownership. National organizations like the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) lead the way in gun safety through initiatives like Project ChildSafe, which promotes secure firearm storage and distributes free gun locks across the country. These are the kinds of solutions that unite—not divide—us.

Who Should Attend?

If you carry.
If you don’t.
If you’ve ever felt talked over in the national debate.
If you're a parent trying to make sense of the headlines.
If you want to learn without being told what to believe.

This book club meeting welcomes gun owners and non-gun owners alike. Let’s sit down together, listen, and learn—because safer communities start with better conversations.

I hope to see you in Princeton. Bring your questions, your concerns, and your curiosity. Let’s talk.
