Too late! Have you read National Geographic lately? It has bought into AGW big-time! Al Goracle probably sits on the board. In their Traveler magazine they lambasted the museum dedicated to Kalashnikov, snarkily implying America was just as bad since we had a firearms museum (great place in Virginia by the way). The beauty of some of the old weapons as well as the dioramas at the NRA museum are quite a step above a hall dedicated to one weapon in Russia. So, Nat Geo is PC big time.

I was going to answer him as well; sorry for the thread jack. I bought Nat Geo subscription about 10 years ago for my then 8 year old daughter. This was prompted by my love for them as a kid. My grandmother had every issue in a closet back to Perry at the pole (which I still have).

A new crew had come in and every EVERY article had some nasty anti-American, anti-capitalist blather in it. Front to back. Oh, plenty of advertising still, wouldn’t want to starve or anything. I cancelled after two years and told them explicitly why.

Back to mummies and their letting it all hang out.

Try the Frazier Arms Museum in downtown Louisville. It has a fine collection of historic American firearms, as well as a huge amount of British weaponry and armor dating from the Bronze Age all the way up through the Boer War.

The British weapon collection is on semi-permanent loan from the Imperial War Museum in Great Britain. They have tens of thousands of pieces that are taking up vast amounts of storage space, so they loan out as much as possible to keep their overhead costs down and to give folks in other countries an opportunity to see some of these fascinating weapons.

My two remaining subscriptions (over 50 years each) are National Geographic and Scientific American and SciAm has become as much of a left-wing agitiator as is NG. :-(

I will not renew either -- and I will let them have both barrels when I tell them why!
