LOL

Private sector blowback.

Needs to be applied to the public sector.

[Salgak]

Nothing wrong with gun control: who wants to WASTE bullets, ammo’s gotten expensive.

I suspect what he ACTUALLY is supporting is Involuntary Citizen Disarmament. . . .

His first name fits him. Good for G&A.

Guns & Ammo Fires Editor After Publishing Editorial Calling for Gun Control

Why was this even allowed to be published to begin with? It can't be just the editor in on this....can it?

[thorvaldr]

sic semper tyrannis

[ealgeone]

so why was it even allowed to be printed??

[jimbo123]

The editor fired himself, too.

[AlmaKing]

The editor should have reviewed the article before publishing, correct? Was he just testing the waters to see what the response would be?

[Born to Conserve]

Of course there should be gun right limits, for example, rusty guns should be limited. No individual has the right to put a gun away wet. A gun should never be used to destroy another gun. Advertising a real gun for sale, and then switching it with a candy gun is not a constitutional right.

I could go on, but I’m not sure silly gun talk is protected by the second amendment.

[Paine in the Neck]

Watch where Metcalf ends up. This was a planned mission to get this editorial in a prominent gun publication. Now you will see it endlessly cited by every anti-2A group and politician in the country. Like Fast & Furious, this editorial was pushed to back the anti's position. Metcalf will be rewarded handsomely for taking the flak.

I strongly suspect if there hadn’t been so many threats to cancel Dick would still have a job. G&A cares nothing about your rights or Constitution. All they care about is making $$$. Any right thinking gun rag would have never entertained much less publish such trash.

[Puppage]

“I made a mistake by publishing the column,” he continued. “I thought it would generate a healthy exchange of ideas on gun rights. I miscalculated, pure and simple. I was wrong, and I ask your forgiveness.”

Ya think?

He had his Zumbo moment, ‘deed he did.

THERE IS MORE TO THIS THAN MEETS THE EYE. Guns and Ammo should go down for this. There are other mags—and new ones to be born.

[A_Former_Democrat]

“The fact is, all constitutional rights are regulated, always have been, and need to be.”

Gee, and here I thought there were gun laws of various facets around the country, “Dick”?

[SC_Pete]

He did! And let it go through. The magazine should pay the price—there is more to this story.

[SC_Pete]

YES!!!! It was INTENTIONAL. It was SUBVEWRSIVE. It was UNAMERICAN. And Guns and Ammo needs to go down for this crap.

[Eska]

I wonder about so many of those writers/hunting hosts, (Metcalf was one I did wonder about); then there are some that are for real, (Tactical show hosts, Teddy, Pig Man, and Bone Collector; ya I actually watch those shows here along the Yukon when it's minus 60).

No middle ground on gun control.
