Hunting shops are having a bum year. Uh-oh.
Comment: good riddance to bad rubbish! There's nothing good about guns. we need to get rid of them all, and the sick hunters can all go off in the woods together. I'm glad that cabellas is going out of business... its about time america lost its lust for guns.
boycott all Japanese products until they stop hunting whales!

Comment: well, let us all hope that this is in fact the swansong of america's love affair with the gun. guns are sick, and all purposes gun-related are equally sick. good riddance to bad rubbish. cabela's, go away.

Comment: D. Gross is an "editor". Perhaps other"clueless editors" missed the part about "fishers" Could be, daddy never took him hunting or fishing, in spite of excellent opportunities near East Lansing. In the NY area, deer are becoming pests since there are neither two nor four-legged predators to control their numbers.
Sales of hunting and fishing gear are down because kids aren't being taught to hunt and fish.
Comment: As a retired school teacher from an inner city high school in Los Angeles, I could care less about guns -for reasons that I will enumerate later. However, Daniel Gross' column does make emphasize one truism. You cannot run an economy if 1 % of the population controls 40% of the wealth. And the globalization of poverty and the obscene division between the have-mores and the have nots increases every day.. That???s is happening because Republicans glorify greed and trickle-down economics, which doesn't work any more than the economic policies of the late great USSR, (Which perversely enough was also a text book example of the trickle down economic theory.) We need to re-distribute the wealth in this country and in this world. We also need a sustainable economy - our current economy, based on fossil fuels is suicidal. Unless we evolve into a more Democratic economy, every business in this country is DOOMED.
Comment: The author is undoubtedly not an outdoorsman, not that being one might qualify him as an authority. A "fisher" is a member of the weasel family and one who fishes is generally referred to as a fisherman, and one does not shoot "for" doves, one simply shoots doves, if one is so inclined.
Who edits this guys work?
Comment: With well over 300,000,000 private arms in circulation, and your noted sense of their durability, (My Grannies .30-30 still functions perfectly after some 70 years now...) I'd suggest we're about as gunned-up as we need to be.
I do agree with concealed carry laws. I just do not see a huge market for the newest gun, calibre, etc. As far as home defense, a Charter Arms Bulldog can be pulled out of a can of mud and fire.

STRATEGIES Isn't it ironic: Xerox is hoping it can profit by teaching companies how to reduce their printing.
