As you all know Dick Metcalf recently wrote an article in Guns&Ammo which was intended to be controversial. It was more than that, and in my opinion crossed over the line. In our fight for our rights, there is only black and white, there is no shade of gray. You are either wholly with us, or you are against us. Since that article was published many have vocally protested it. Some have done it on the internet. Other have done it behind the scenes.
The end result is Mr. Metcalf is no longer with Guns&Ammo In addition The editor who published it, Mr. Jim Bequette is stepping down and his position will be taken over by Eric Poole.
Eric Poole served our country as a Marine in Iraq. He is as staunch a supporter of our rights as anyone. He is a good fit for this position. The official announcement will be posted shortly on the Guns&Ammo website.

That was quick.
I canceled my subscription and I could not have been the only one.
Good.
Not one inch.....
Hear that popping noise? It’s the sound of G&A pulling their head out of their A**...
What was that? Less than a week?
yeah ... I really enjoyed that issue. Then I read that column and was just shocked.
nice to see all sides do the right thing.
bttt
What did he say?
One hopes that Mr. Metcalf learned the meaning of "well-regulated". Here's a clue: it isn't "made illegal by swell guys like Holder and 0bama".
There are plenty of people like this in similar positions.
I wonder if he also got a healthcare cancellation notice.
That was fast!
Good!
I cancelled my subscription this afternoon. I meant to do it earlier but just forgot about it. The guy I talked to was polite and said they would send me a refund.
He did ask why and I told him but he didn’t make any comment.
G&A did the right thing by canning the editor too!
It was said that the editor “stepped down”.
No doubt the boot print on his butt was a sign.
HERE is what the excitement is all about. Mr. Metcalf opined that a little gun control was entirely justified. So, in my opinion, was a little firing.
If it saves just one life, or prevents a misunderstanding, it's worth it.
amazing what canceling subscriptions can accomplish...
