FWIW, I don't know anything about the future but as Richard Russel says, the internet is a powerful engine of deflation. I imagine within the next economic turndown the plethora of gunrags will diminish some and maybe the I-net will be a factor.

It certainly has made the "old boys network" of hiding expert information difficult. With a little searching one can find full disclosure from all over the globe. Real and accurate information makes generalizations masked as advice look unschooled. I imagine this pressures gunwriters to put a lot more effort/research into each piece or it will have that effect in time.
