Magazines have to have something different every month or the don't sell....I think that's a given.
Magazines dedicated to a single subject such as guns, cars, motorcycles, horses, models, etc., must compete for a limited market with other magazines of their ilk...... and for the attention($) of people that have multiple interests.
The best way to do that is to guarantee (prospective)readers something they haven't seen, hence the latest & greatest, on the cover.

If you go to a large newsstand, the number of magazines on guns is far outstripped by the number of magazines on quite a number of subjects.
I suspect you may not have noticed because those other subjects don't strike a nerve with you like guns do.
It's pretty obvious it does just because you call people with an interest in and/or use for, guns....fanatics.
For the opposition, that kills any possibility of logic or reason on your part, starting with that bias.
Do you understand why showing that attitude out of the gate, provokes the attitude you receive?
