Madness?

That picture of the youngster hunting with the DPMS AR-15 (April 2008) was in such bad taste it boggles my mind anyone in the "business" would publish it. Who the heck goes hunting armed with that type of firearm? The general public doesn't need to see photos of that type.

With the recent spate of school and mall shootings, that's all the gun grabbers have to see. Can you imagine what we're in for this time next year with regards to the gun control measures that will be proposed after this presidential election?

Jacob lets his grandson hunt with his AR because he can adjust the stock to fit him properly and the recoil isn't objectionable because of the gas operation. Personally, I see no difference in hunting with a 5-shot AR and a 5-shot Remington 7400. We can't let the gun grabbers tell us which guns are evil and which aren't, because--to them--all guns are evil.

Let's let your fellow readers weigh in on this, too. Should I censor the mag's content so gun-grabbers don't get any ideas? If yes, how far do I take it? I'll run a sampling of responses in a month or so. If there's a lot, I'll run them on our Web Blast at www.gunsmagazine. com.
