I bought the Dec issue after not buying SWAT for many years. I think it's very much improved and I'll be buying it from now on. I think JD has a great idea. I would suggest you delete Enemy at the Gate to make room for it. American Rifleman and it's sister publication, America's First Freedom, cover the gun rights issue pretty thoroughly. There are also numerous web sites devoted to it. On the other hand, no other magazine has a ammo column. Just my two cents worth. Good magazine, regardless.
