There are problems with this from the very beginning:

The Founding Fathers had just survived – somewhat miraculously! – nearly ten years of war against the oppressive, tyrannical government of Great Britain’s King George III. Firearms in the hands of American patriots had been essential in that struggle. Surely had private citizens in the British colonies not been allowed to own guns, the American Revolution would have never been born.

First off, the war was 8 years, not 10. Second, it wasn't a miracle. We had good strategy and foreign support. Third, anything claiming to be history doesn't need statements that begin with "surely" and provide no citation or proof.
