Jack, I agree with you that the current crop of writers can't compare to the great ones but I still like G&A since it presents the broadest range of articles for the general interest gun reader. They cover everything from 19th century militaria, to handgun questions, to dangerous game rifles, to military and police sidearms, to M2 conversions, to defense of the 2nd Ammendment, to the latest Isreali assualt rifle.
I also like Boddington, who if memory serves me, is on the G&A staff.
Just my thoughts.
