No you're not wasting your time Choprzrul. This is a fantastic project, this list needs to grow. Keep up the good work.

Wikipedia has great articles on Ballistics, specific cartridges of every conceivable caliber, specific models of firearms. For example, check out the articles on 'Combat Shotgun' and '.257 Roberts' and 'Colt 1911'

The Forgotten Soldier - Guy Sajer and Stalingrad - Theodor Plievier Probably fit better under Fiction, History and Stories

2nd Amendment

Boston's Gun Bible - Boston T Party (2002)

1. Technical Aspects of Firearms; 2. Philosophy of Firearms; 3. Politics. Other themes which are thoughtfully developed in the 848 page book are on the laws governing gun use, women and guns, self-defense, tactics and training, combat rifle history and how to become a rifleman.

You and The Police - Boston T Party (3rd edition 2009)

Constitutional law and the police.

Ricochet - Confessions of a Gun Lobbyist - Richard Feldman (2008)

Insiders view of the NRA and the recent history (last 20 years) of gun control politics. Sometimes critical of the present NRA leadership.

Reloading

ABCs of Reloading has a new 9th edition Jan 2011. Haven't seen it to see what's new compared to the previous edition.

Hornady Reloading Handbook

Lyman Reloading Handbook

Lee Reloading Manual

Nosler Reloading Book

Barnes Reloading Manual

Sierra Rifle and Handgun Reloading Manual

Speer Reloading Manual

Gunsmithing

The series of DVD Technical Manual and Armorer's Courses by AGI are excellent. Taught by Bob Dunlap a retired gunsmithing school instructor. Great detail videography. Function, disassembly, cleaning, repair, reassembly. A little pricey at $40 + shipping, you can get them a little cheaper at Midway, or at some gun shows. The last couple of years they've been 3 for $100 at the Big Reno Gun Show.

For long range shooting:

Applied Ballistics for Long-Range Shooting
by Bryan Litz
Price: $39.95 (Hardcover, 536 pages)
Book includes Ballistic Software on CD

Bryan Litz, chief Ballistician for Berger Bullets, has just released an impressive new, hard-cover treatise on external ballistics. While Bryan's 536-page Applied Ballistics for Long-Range Shooting will surely take its place among the "classic" reference books on precision shooting, it does much more than explain theories of bullet flight. Using advanced equipment, Litz measured the actual drag of over 175 popular bullet types in the field. Part III of the book includes the field-tested BCs of all these bullets, AND Litz provides the enhanced G7 BC data, which works better with boat-tail bullets. Armed with this new experimentally-derived data, shooters can now calculate their loads' true trajectories with greater precision than ever before.

One of the best sources for precision reloading and long range shooting is at:

Book Reviews

http://www.6mmbr.com/bookreviews.html

6mmBR.com is the best guide for 6mm BR Benchrest precision shooting, complete with 6BR FAQ, Reloading Data, Shooter Message Boards, Reader Polls, and Photo Gallery. Match event calendar and rifle competition accuracy training tips. Equipment reviews (.243 bullets, 30BR cartridge, 6mm Norma Improved, gun barrels, powders, primers, gunstocks, dies), accurizing, 1000yd ranges, ballistics, component sales, tools, gunsmiths. Articles archive for reloading, marksmanship, gunsmithing, and varminting.

They've compiled quite an effective list of solid reference material.
