Those reviews are amazing.

That cover art couldn't be any more Nazi-friendly if there was a swastika plastered across it.

[deathfun]

There was apparently stuff on Colbert on that book
Can't find the clip however

It was said that it was what spawned all the responses and sales to boot

EDIT:
Well, I can't personally see it because Canada but

Came in expecting Go the **** to Sleep.

Was not disappointed, but for entirely different reasons.

[Colonol Dekker]

The dad on the cover art is Mario "cruising for tail".

It's creepy if you zoom in and look into all three of their eyes. At least, it is to me.

[deathfun]

Anything is creepy if you zoom in close enough

[Lorric]

I should actually clarify, don't bother zooming in. Just click on the book to look inside and it'll fill up your screen with the cover. That'll do it.

I think I preferred the "people who bought this book also bought...." recommendation

I'm going to go with Poe's Law and say that book is satire. I don't want to live in a world which has someone who is enough of a twat to write a book like that.

Sorry. Meet the author:

It's also listed as the number one best seller in Children's Government Books.

Lalalalalalala I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

You really won't want to click this then. Welcome to the other side...

Anyone who does click, make sure to read the back cover of the book which can be seen at the bottom of the OP...

Yeah, the book is creepy, but somehow I cant get fired up over a book that tries to indoctrinate children into respecting the rights of the people (second amendment), even if it does so in a creepy way..

[Flipside]

Heh, when I was growing up I read books about Pirates, but I'm still not allowed to openly carry a musket

Pirates. Butthurt

Butt Pirates

Someone needs to write a children's book about butt pirates

Well, to a lot of foreigners, the second amendment itself is creepy, which amps up the book's creep factor.

Actually, the Nazis confiscated firearms.  The cover art is pretty Nazi-un-friendly.

Poe's Law is about extremism.  Since open carry enjoys widespread (and growing) support across the US, it is by definition not extreme.  You're not very open-minded, are you?

I don't think that's the problem here. I can't speak for someone else but that cover is just too creepy for it to seem unintentional. I could probably draw something more appealing offhand. Also the plot description makes it seem beyond retarded.
A book promoting open carry might be really weird to someone not living in the states(or another very gun liberal country) but I don't think it would reach Poe's Law levels of weirdness. If it was a 10 page essay explaining the merits of it with a normal cover I doubt anyone would find it very creepy.
