I was sent to the supermarket to buy some green beans for Thanksgiving. On the way out I decided to look at the computer magazines in the magazine rack which I have not done in years. This rack is medium size. I figured I would see no computer magazines (computers are passe) but that I would see magazines devoted to smartphones and iphones. But I saw nothing.
What I did see surprised me. 12 gun magazines, maybe one or two were buying guides. I also saw a model drone buying guide. On the cover was a photo of a helicopter type drone with four rotors. I saw four wedding magazines. There were other magazines I did not make a mental note of.
Why so many gun magazines? My guess is they are slanted towards new gun owners. On a crucial and expensive gun purchase a magazine with good photos will do better than the internet for helping buyers? My guess at least.
“Who buys magazines any more?”
Enough Americans to support putting 12 gun magazines in the supermarket magazine rack. Magazines for reading that is.
I was unaware that the pajama boy libs were making an issue of supermarket magazine racks with lots of flashy, well produced gun magazines. But I can see how they would. They hate other people having fun they do not approve of.
I get all of mine for free. There are many ways to get free magazine subscriptions online.
