This past October Dick Metcalf, a columnist for the magazine Guns & Ammo, wrote an opinion piece entitled “Let’s Talk Limits.” Mr. Metcalf said, “all constitutional rights are regulated, always have been, and need to be.” Two arms manufacturers (and major advertisers), Remington and Ruger, demanded Mr. Metcalf be fired. He also received death threats. The magazine did fire Metcalf, and he was taken off a tv show about firearms.
When the “Duck Dynasty” guy made homophobic and racist remarks, Fox “News” and Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter started yelling about First Amendment rights. I am sure we will be hearing from them about Mr. Metcalf’s First Amendment rights any day now.
