I generally agree, but I made an edit in red. Do you agree?

Maybe some will start getting the message--hopefully!
HogPatrol: You're telling our age man! Hey, think back to those days. That was before Credit Cards came about, those ad's said: "just send cash, check or money order for ---" Am I RIGHT? Damn, some of us are gettin old huh? Penny postcards, letters for 2-3 cents. Candy bars bigger than can be found today a nickle, soda a nickle, gas 15-20 cents a gallon all the time. Cars made 20mpg without all this crap added to 'em too. Tires $10 new, recaps $6, good oil a quarter a qt. Gotta quit!! Just one more: Along about the time I was 8-10 there was a local gas war between two stations two blocks apart. One dropped to 11 cents, Dad stopped to tell "Harry" a friend owning the other to look up the street at Bob's price. Harry dropped his to a dime a gallon right then. He said something like: "he's only making a penny a gallon, I've got enough money I can give it away! That was in the early '50's. Maybe '52-53 near as I can recall.----------and NO I can't remember what I had for breakfast!

Danny, PREVENT is a good choice of words. Whatever it takes to reach a guns only for the military country.
George, yep I remember those gas wars, my ol' man went where mom wanted the free 8oz drinking glasses they were also giving away with a fill up even if it was a penny a gallon more. Back on point. The anti-guns know they can never achieve an outright ban so they are taking the same tack as the anti-tobacco gang, pass seemingly benign "common sense" laws, get the CDC to rule them unsafe under any condition and just plain regulate them out of existence. I wholeheartedly agree with a previous poster when he says Infringement is Infringement and what part of the word RIGHT as stated in the constitution is open to interpretation and modification? |

Not only the gas wars but we had the "green stamps" to get free junk.

The Sneaky "Ban"
Yep, and an industry insider (a certain Bruce H.) told me that the O administration has sneakily put a 50% import strangle on all powder imported into the U.S..
Tried to find any powder on the shelves lately? Just another rat-sneak way of limiting or outright circumventing the 2nd Amemdment. What good will our guns be without any propellant? Rat Bast_____!

I'm not trying to dim the conspiracy theories, but reloading supply limitations might be a regional thing to some extent. Where I live several gun shops are once again well stocked with powders and primers of all persuasions.

Back in my pistol-shooting days, I knew Metcalf a bit. Met him at the USPSA Nationals that were held on his family's farm (PASA Park) in Illinois.
He struck me then as a sleazebag, and after talking to a few of his colleagues in that business, they pretty much confirmed my impressions. Even his fellow contributors to Shooting Times couldn't stand him. I haven't read any of the grocery-store gunrags in years, but I'm not too surprised that old Dickybird finally got the axe, it should have happened years ago. |

My last gun rag subscription ended with the demise and last issue of "Small Caliber News". Truth be told, after it was purchased by Dakota and became a fancy advertisement for them I doubt I'd of renewed it anyway.
My total gun rag rejection came with "Guns and Ammo" second to last, cause I knew if I read one more article on another black plastic handgun I was gonna barf! The last was "Shooting Times" at the end of the first year that Ruger came out with the 77.22-Hornet. I'd been looking high and low for one and hadn't been able to find one that year. At the end of that year Lane Simpson wrote an article on the gun and as I wanted one I was most excited to read it. In that article Simpson talked about what a genius Bill Ruger was, what an attractive and innovative rifle the 77 .22 through 77 .22 Hornet were, what a fascinating and endearing round the .22 Hornet was and then at the end of the article without any comment at all he put the results of his shooting tests with handloads and factory ammo. 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 inch groups with everything and not once did he even say something like "this rifle must of had some problems cause it shot terribly", nothing! I knew then that the advertisers and "givers of free gifts to gun writers " own those rags and providing real info to the magazine buyers meant nothing . That was it and I was done! Check that, I did subscribe to "Precision Shooting" cause it was a different breed of cat , It'll be missed.
