Says our own Editor in Chief, Scott Olmsted:
"Folks, we see all your complaints about the digital editions, and we can’t really argue with you. They are, however, a solution to the rising costs of publishing, evident mainly in the costs of paper, printing and postage. It’s just a fact that those prices continue to rise beyond our control, and as such the NRA Board of Directors made the decision to try to take back some control. To that end, we are happy to announce that the NRA mobile app.
