re: Guns &Ammo editorial supports gun control

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?

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.
