#2 Ahh, I'm going to miss this column. I also hold the "Week in Guns" in great esteem. I have learned quite a bit from you and I hope you will keep posting gun related articles and news as they come up.

Fair winds Badanov and be well.

#6 Thank you. As with many others here, I will miss your weekly column. I really enjoyed your commentary and the rather wishful thinking over the gun of the week. It will be missed.

#8 Thank you Badanov for a great column and keeping up with 2nd amendment issues and firearms/ammo prices. You are greatly appreciated. Good luck to you in whatever you do after "The Week in Guns."

#9 Has it been five years already? I didn’t realize. Starting in 2010 you reported* on the narco gangs down in Mexico, translating from local reports, and then the Ukrainian civil war, for which you also translated from local reports in both Ukrainian and Russian. It has been a joy to play copy editor for you in each incarnation, badanov — I’ve learnt so much as you responded to my questions about both content and phrasing choices, and I am delighted by how well you’ve internalized my feedback; you leave me very little to add nowadays. I realize your life has taken a busy turn, my dear, but I look forward to whatever next attracts your reportorial attention.

* For those interested, the Mexican reports are collected in three volumes, available from all the usual internet sources. See here.

#10 Thanks Bad. The week in guns always looked like a lot of work, so I religiously read it. I appreciate your efforts, and hope you are not TOO busy.
