Rockey Mountian News To shut down.. Last one tomorrow..
Guess that's the last one I'll buy....
Seems fitting....I certainly wouldn't buy any more of those after they quit making new ones; but that's just me.
havn't bought any, or the post for that matter, since they they refuse to allow individuals to advertise guns!

I'm shocked most of these paper news companies have managed to stay in business this long, been a dieing industry for probably 10 years now.
Heck, The only reason I'll miss it, is the comics... Been reading some of those since I was a kid...
Whats a newspaper?

hehehe... Yeah. By 1977 I know that I was well indoctorinated in the fact that newspapers were (by default) typically anti-gun. We always got the Sunday paper because of the coupons, but the purchase was usually accompanied by lots of under the breath muttering.
I was born in 1977.... You guys are OLD! [Tooth]Quote:

at least with this crowd I don't feel too old, nor too young- I was born in '70... but you won't find me baggin on the younger ones too much
I first started reading the RMN in 1980 when I was station at club Fitz. While the paper did get a severe left slant in later years I always liked the "book" layout.
I prefer to read the paper. Yes I work in the electronics/IT field and have for the last 30 years but there is something to be said for newsprint/books.
Hope all you young ones have a backup plan if all this modern stuff ever comes to a halt.......;-)
and I must be the old man of the group having lived through 10 presidents so far.

Loch ness of Red feather tipped the boat when he heard about the few guns I did own that were on board, grabbed the guns and disappeared into the watery abiss. Very sad. Luckily I have $1000 coverage through NRA but I am not sure how to explain the story to them without instantly getting denied.Quote:

Hate the majority of newspapers cause of the liberal spin, and i'm surprised too that many havn't gone out of business, however remember that is how the libs still push their BS. Ironic, notice how it hasn't become un-pc to read the newspaper, even though the libtards are always about saving the world and trees and global warming etc, but newsprint is how they push their propaganda? I have a really liberal neighbor, who complains at me all the time about recycling by the way, and they get 4 f-ing newspapers! Who the f is trying to save the world, oh at least i buy my beer from the "worlds largest recyclers" hehe!
Cheers and good riddance RMN.
