When I read Metcalf’s response, what I see is a man who is feeling extremely defensive, and not at all ready to acknowledge that the industry and world around him are changing. I’m not sure that any sentence sums up his disconnect from the community any better than this:

Do voices from cyberspace now control how and why business decisions are made?

It’s as if he doesn’t even comprehend that those “voices” are the very customers and readers of Guns & Ammo and purchasers of the firearms products advertised in the pages. Not everyone may be a subscriber, but they are all part of the target market.

It is sad to see Dick Metcalf using almost word by word some of the arguments that the Opposition spews regularly.

I was going to put forth my two cents, but Bitter does a much better job. Read the whole thing as it is legally and constitutionally illustrative.
