F&S
It has recently come to my attention that one of your editors, Dave Petzal, stated in 1994 that
The American public -- and the gun-owning public; especially the gun-owning public -- would be better off without the hardcore military arms, which puts the average sportsman in a real dilemma". An Uzi or an AKM or an AK-47 should be no more generally available than a Claymore mine or a block of C4 explosive.
This, of course, is unacceptable to supporters of the Second Amendment. Furthermore, Petzal's recent F&S blog, written in support of Jim Zumbo, indicates that Petzal, after all these years, still fails to understand that the purpose of the Second Amendment is not soley to protect the ownership of sporting arms, but all firearms that can be used to protect the citizen from others, and from government gone frighteningly awry.
I must say because of the comment made in 1994, and because of the apparent lack of understanding he displayed (in his most recent F&S blog defending Zumbo) as to the real intent of the Second Amendment, I will cease purchasing more issues of Field and Stream until he is either released, or has made the appropriate appologies to gunowners (with the appropriate amount of pennance).
