The editor of Guns & Ammo magazine wrote an article in which he opined that Americans who apply for a concealed carry permit should have to take a mandatory safety training course. How do you suppose the gun-crazed lunatics responded to this quite reasonable suggestion? By cancelling their subscriptions and calling for the editor to be fired*, of course!

They also started a letter-writing campaign that includes some real gems:

Quote:
Anyone who says “I believe in the Second Amendment but–” does not believe in the Second Amendment. They are not friends, they are not frenemies, they are enemies of The People of the Gun.
The People of the Gun! They've definitely entered Poe's Law territory when they use a ridiculous term like that to describe themselves.

*And they got their wish, according to this response from the magazine's publisher.
