Guns & Ammo Editor Apologizes for Pro-Gun Control Column, Steps Down
Posted in: Uncategorized
Jim Bequette, the editor in chief of Guns & Ammo, issued an abject apology Thursday for the magazine’s recent editorial advocating gun regulation, saying he would resign immediately from his post atop the firearms magazine.
The author of the column, contributing editor Dick Metcalf, was also shown the door, Mr. Bequette said in his letter of apology.
“I made a mistake by publishing the column,” Mr. Bequette said in the letter, which was posted to the Guns & Ammo website. “I thought it would generate a healthy exchange of ideas on gun rights. I miscalculated, pure and simple. I was wrong, and I ask your forgiveness.”
