Moving On – The Truth About Guns

A quick search of TTAG’s library of just under 49,000 published posts shows that my first article here went up back in April of 2011. It was about the first-term hire of a “gun policy” advisor by then-President Barack Obama.

You probably remember him. Obama was the guy who would go on to be crowned as America’s greatest gun salesman. Ah, the good ol’ days. Little did we know back then that the ostensible President who’s now completing Obama’s third term would make The Lightbringer look like a piker by comparison.

A lot of guns, gear, rights restriction efforts, court decisions, and political hackery have come and gone in the almost 13 years since then and it’s been a pleasure and a privilege being here for every bit of it. But like all good things, this too must come to and end. It’s time for this here keyboard banger to say so long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, and goodbye.

I’ll be moving on to start up a new site called Shooting News Weekly with the very talented folks who run the Outdoor Wire Digital Network. OWDN has been a largely business-to-business venture until now. SNW will be their first consumer-oriented publication with a daily blog, weekly email subscription service, and more.

Thanks to all of the great writers, dedicated readers, and passionate commenters (well, most of you) who have made my time here a joy. Here’s to a happy new year for all and to new beginnings.
