It's funny that the Brady Campaign has already jumped on Metcalf's comments to justify more regulation.


This is why G&A took such swift action to get rid of him.

The magazine is political. It may seem like they just do gun reviews, but when you look on the cover and see a rifle, pistol, or shotgun, you realize it is still political.

Most of the writers are staunch 2A supporters, as they should be.

If you give the left one small concession like this, they jump on it like rabid dogs to try to divide our community. Some of the asinine comments I've read on the interwebz makes me believe they are succeeding.

If you read The Bang Switch blog post they made about it, you'll see that the Brady campaign has already hopped on those comments. They were extremely detrimental to the fight for 2A and G&A made the right decision.

This article would not have been published without a green light from the entire editorial staff, but only the writer loses his job. Management made a boneheaded business decision in failing to account for the cost of being wrong on reader reaction, especially considering the precedents set by the other writers mentioned in your link.

Agree 100%, but the blame lies at least somewhat with those who are too stupid to realize it and carrying pitchforks.
