Too bad all the holes are in your foot.
The point Guns America is making is actually valid. Many people start blogging in hopes of getting free stuff or believe that their audience is much larger than it really is. I have about a thousand readers a day, many of them regulars (and I love each and every one of you!). There are other gun bloggers who dwarf my traffic who I wouldn’t piss in their mouth if their teeth were on fire nor would I take a lick of advice about guns from but there are others who maybe have 200 readers who, if they said I should seriously reconsider a Jennings pistol, I would.
Numbers don’t mean as much as the blogger’s personal reputation with his or her readers.
Yes, just being a blogger doesn’t mean anything and shouldn’t automatically result in a pass, but there are better ways of saying it that don’t make you look like you have an inordinate amount of disdain for the new media. The traditional gatekeepers of information have been demolished, but the need to vet your information didn’t go away. You just have to do it yourself rather than appeal to an ‘authority’.
