The November 5th issue of Runner's World carries a column by athlete Nick Symmonds calling for a handgun ban for everyone except police and military personnel.

The column also calls for a ban on "assault rifles," while kindly proposing that regular citizens should be allowed to keep a shotgun with which to hunt birds and a "[rifle]...for big game animals."

Hey, Nick - There's no need to fantasize about how wonderful that world would be if your wish were to come true. You can watch a movie about that very situation - It's called Schindler's List. I highly recommend that you see it.

Reminds me that Madonna lectured a concert audience during the 2012 election.

She urged her audience to vote, then told them they “better F*(*in vote for Obama”.

It sure seems that some people with a liberal bent, just assume that the rest of the world is also liberal, and are shocked to learn that the rest of the world is not liberal.

I used to take this rag when I was a runner. They’ve been at this crap for years. Run by Marxists.

What a great idea. We all know that government institutions on this planet have never ever used guns inappropriately. /sarc.

Historically speaking, one must conclude that this planet would be a much safer place if governments were never allowed to possess any weapons at all.

Jacka** Nick Symmonds was born in Idaho and grew up here in Boise, yet he makes no mention of either on his official website. Claims he's from Eugene, Oregon. I guess he's ashamed of being from pro-gun Idaho.

That's okay Nick, you don't fit in here. It's better that you're in Oregon with your Leftist; homosexual ilk.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I was a runner before this magazine. I’ll be a runner after it folds up. Was a subscriber for a few seasons in the ‘70’s, but it was generally pablum.

It is going to vanish pretty soon. We need not worry about its opinion on anything.

Lots of magazines acting odd lately.

First, Rolling Stone honored a moslem terrorist on its cover.

Then Guns&Ammo fell in love with totalitarian gun grabs.

And now Runner's World has -- by pure coincidence -- joined the same propaganda campaign at almost the exact time.

I guess Obamatollah and his Communist-moslem handlers got a call from Soros reminding them 'There's still some print media we don't fully control.'

Folks, haven’t you heard?

It’s cool to be disarmed by your government while they arm AL QAEDA terrorists and Mexican drug cartels.

You haven’t really lived until you’ve been shot with an ObamaGun or an AK-47 supplied by John McCain.

“I used to run. If you could call it running”

Yeah, I used to live in bad neighborhoods too.

Better question is, “Can you run at least 1250 fps?”. LOL!
