the writer and editor were pushed out over a column which suggested there could be some limits on the second amendment namely that gun owners should be required to have some firearms training before getting a concealed carry permit. you have to pass a test to drive a car in this country. do you think that the readers of guns and ammo maybe crossed the line on this one? remember, there are two issues here. there s a policy debate among readers of guns and ammo and this guy that wrote a column suggesting the training and media debate about whether he should be fired for expressing his opinion. this is an advocacy publication. you have to think they can say, look, you didn t follow the line with what we believe to be advocating for our position so you got to go. i think it s shocking because he obviously had done a great job as far as they were concerned in promoting their attitude about gun control or not having gun
