Zumbo "gets it" and comes in from the cold

That large popping sound that rang out throughout the country recently? You might have heard it, it was the sound of Jim Zumbo's head popping out out of his ass! As you might remember, Zumbo really stepped in the stinky stuff a few weekends ago, calling for the banning of "scary black rifles" from the hunting woods and fields. He was thrashed severely, (and rightly so) in the woodshed of the internet over just one weekend and lost his job with Outdoor Life and many of his equipment sponsors.

Well, Zumbo has been schooled over the past couple weeks on the numbers and types of owners of rifles that don't fit his walnut and deep-blued steel paradigm. And he understands the damage to the complete gun community that his hastily worded blog post caused. He has seen the light and is diligently working to make amends. Read his letter to the chairman of Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

I was wrong when I recently suggested that wildlife agencies should ban semiautomatic firearms I erroneously called “assault rifles” for hunting. I insulted legions of my fellow gun owners in the process by calling them “terrorist rifles.” I can never apologize enough for having worn blinders when I should have been wearing bifocals.

But unlike those who would destroy the Second Amendment right to own a firearm – any firearm – I have learned from my embarrassing mistake. My error should not be used, as it has been in recent days by our common enemies, in an effort to dangerously erode our right to keep and bear arms.

There's more, and I believe him. read the whole thing. I believe he will be a valuable ally in our fight to keep the politician's hands off our guns.
