What's sad is that all of these so called defenders of the 2nd got the guy fired because of his belief in the 1st.
Ironic, isn't it?
It's disgusting that we can't have an intelligent conversation in this country any more without people spewing profanity and taking an extreme stance either right or left.

A similar thing happened to the Recoil editor when he mentioned in an article that civilians didn't need to have access to military grade hardware. I thought it was ridiculous.

Did the government punish him for saying anything?
No?
His 1st Amendment rights aren't even in play here. 1st Amendment doesn't free you from consequences of your words in the non-government arena.

I agree. And what's really ironic is that on the cover of the edition in which he fires Metcalf, he highlights a Ruger rifle.
Say what you will about Ruger's recent positions, and recent monetary contributions to the NRA. Bill Ruger threw every gun owner in the country under the bus when he supported Bill Clinton's 1994 "high cap" mag and "assault rifle" gun control law.
Guns & Ammo has been a whore to gun advertisers for years -- second only to the NRA publications. The correlation between full page 4 color ads, and primo product placement, is unmistakable and irrefutable.
Never does one of their "reviews" say anything negative about a firearm, to ensure a continued stream of ad revenue. This is understandable -- happens with a lot of gunrags.
But for the editor to climb onto his soapbox and bash the former staff member who simply did his job (writing an opinion piece) is close to being the epitome of hyprocrisy.

The constant barrage on Rights has facilitated the anger and mentality that exists today. I personally, am of the opinion, not one more law. Not one more piece of legislation. Not one tiny bit of ground should be given up on gun ownership and the ability to purchase, carry and own them. Ther are tens of thousands of gun laws on the books, from outright bans on firearms, to bans on ammunition to bans on carry. Gun owners have been to giving, and too quiet for too long. It's time they push back, it's time they said not one inch more.
