Whom does he need to "reestablish" himself too? You?? Do you honestly think he gives a rat's a$$ what you think of him?? I will not speak for him but I have serious doubts a corporate big wig much cares what rank 'n file think.
Not to me, but to the whole community that he damaged by way of his comments. I'm sure he doesn't particularly care what I, individually, think of him. But, I suspect he does care what the 2nd Amendment supporters as a group think of him. Otherwise, he might not have changed his tune. And, corporate big wigs do care what the rank 'n file think, orZumbo wouldn't havelost his sponsorships as a result of a grass roots uprising.
Yes as a matter of fact I do to some degree agree with his comments about those types of weapons for hunting....who needs them for hunting? You?? For that matter who really needs any semi auto single projecyile weapon for sport hunting/ Isn't the sport of hunting,actually hunting and not spraying fire power at the prey?
If you honestly think that people who use semi-autos when hunting are "spraying fire power at their prey", then that says all I need to know about you. You haven't got a clue what you are talking about, so your opinion is the essence of ill-informed.
As to the ill imformed part of my post I'll answer it this way as you don't seem to grasped what I posted. Only an ill imformed poster would bash to the extent of trying to have someone ousted (such as Zumbo) when they don't realize that a writer/figurehead can do much more good for our cause (as he has for 40+ yrs) with us than away from us.Yes he made an error,but when weighed against his 40+ yrs of PRO GUN effort it is just one step backwards. Do you think our Federal Gov't doesn't make errors? Guess what they do ,but still we live in a Democracy free to own guns, free to type this sort of drivel,etc. Everything we do is under the scales of balance .....think about that. think about how Nugent's big mouthis percieved by the non commited of the gun ownership battle....only an ILL IMFORMED would place his brash comments ahead of zumbo's eloquant writings.
Of course he can do good. IF he's sending the right message. Zumbo was sending exactly the opposite of the right message. Again, I'm not one of the people who is calling for his permanent banishment. I hope that he is able to use his considerable talents to send the right message, and to convert ill-informed persons such asyourself to the right side of this argument. There is nothing whatsoever wrong about using an AR for hunting. They are made in a wide variety of calibers and are just as accurate as bolt actions. I'll be taking my AR15 to the lease this year and trying to eradicate some of the jackrabbit population. My next purchase will probably be one of the DPMS AR's in .243, which I think would make a great deer rifle, and if I don't get it in time for deer season this year, I think maybe I'll use my M1A .308 this fall, just because I can.
By the way, you've typed "ill imformed" about half a dozen times now, so I can only assume it's not a typo. The word is informed, not imformed.
