They just announced the end of the print magazine. It’s a sad day. GUNS is the oldest non-organization published magazine. I am honored to have been a part of it for the last eight years.

I had just renewed my subscription for three years to get the "best deal" as stated on the form that was mail just a couple of months ago. Does one have to subscribe to view the digital version?
If this was already decided on earlier this year, then shame on them for still sending out renewal letters and forms if the end was coming anyway. I still had several issues coming before my subscription was due to renew. It's not the $36 or whatever small amount, but the feeling of being deceived that there was a renewal of product that in fact had already been decided to be discontinued. I understand the reasons given in the video, it's the world we live in today, but there should have been some sort of notification to the subscribers. A letter (there were no problem sending out renewal letters) or printed statement in the magazine, on the cover or as the first page, stating "This is your last issue" with an explanation. As an over 20-year subscriber, I should not have to find this out on the Colt Forum, that it was announced on a pod cast that I don't even watch. I do get e-mails from them, but they are only highlighted articles from the last issue. there was no e-mail stating that the magazine has ceased publication.
