Rocky,
I certainly don't proclaim your writing skills or writing savvy, but I respectfully request you take into consideration two things about the OL magazine.
First, the freedom of speech amendment comes into play here and I really think that an important part of the writing.
Secondly, the editor of OL, John Snow, has stated "His position that AR- and AK-style rifles don’t have a place among our “sporting arms” is not one that I personally, or Outdoor Life as a magazine, happens to share."
By blasting our displeasure with Outdoor Life by canceling subscriptions or have them pay for postage of subscription cards over one morons opinion is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Let's write letters and emails to his sponsors, let's slam him with thousands of blogs, but I'm not stopping shopping at Cabela's simply because of one idiots' opinion. Just because Swarovski gives him free binoculars does that mean I need to throw mine away or sell them on ebay?
One fools opinion is just that and he's back pedaling faster than he can keep up with the blogs. And I truly believe that this might be the straw that breaks the camels back because I've never like most of his opinions and this isn't the first time hes' done something stupid but it might be the last....
