Does an editor not look at an article before it is printed, or was DICK the editor?

The editor should have fired himself as well.

The internet killed G&A long ago. Barely john worthy except to replace TP.

The problem is a bunch of people read that article and thought it was a good article. Metcalf is the only one going to pay the price when numerous people need to also.

Gun people will forget and keep supporting all the rest there that thought that article was ok to print.

I guess I'll still send the letter to the editor that I wrote today even though the two things I suggested, the firing of Metcalf and the resignation of the editor, have already taken place. I want their corporate masters to fully understand the mistake that was made in publishing Metcalf's ignorant and foolish column.

Good. We don't need traitors in our ranks posing as one of us.

Maybe Sarah Brady or Mikey Bloomberg can offer him a job for his loyal service.

Some people must buy G&A, but I do not know who they are.

Seems like G&A spotted the gorilla in the room only way after the fact.

Can't even imagine how they would ever think that that his editorial would not start a fire storm.

Who is Dick Metcalf and what did he do?


The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

They DID know it was going to raise a fire storm, Jim said so in his apology, something to the effect that he did so anticipating a strong debate. It was printed solely to increase attention and readership.

They got what they wanted, and more.

Never enter their minds it would become a major story and they would get the backlash they received . They are in recovery mode and someone had to go down, so i would bet Dick volunteered and got a really big severance check . Like Jim Dumbo he will let it calm down and then ease back in through the back door . People in this country have short memories .

Well...it's a sad thing but not really. [bleep] Dick Mecalf. I'd cry for his sad-assed firing, but I'm too busy laughing my ass off.

Speaking of lousy handgun writers, that Chuck Taylor should have wrote for Mad Magazine.

They should have canned his azz a decade ago simply because he was a pompous azz of mediocre technical and shooting ability.

And, how does G&A stay in business as it's been nearly 20 years since it was worth reading.
