Give It up for Garden and Gun Magazine


I, like most Americans, would never dream of setting foot in my garden without a sidearm. On the other hand, I have long viewed the National Rifle Association as a crackpot organization whose primary purpose, aside from lining their pockets, is to guarantee that the number of multiple-fatality workplace shootings in this country never falls below two a week.

Therefore, I applaud the editors of Garden and Gun magazine for sticking to their guns, as it were, and refusing to run an NRA ad. This does, I concede, leave their commitment to a fully armed society somewhat in question among those gun enthusiasts who are less—what would be the word?—hinged. However, that predicament is easily rectified by changing the magazine’s name to Gun and Garden.
