"I would like to take a moment to comment on the proliferation of Sniper Rifles.
Sniper Rifles are typically equipped with a high-powered scope, and every single one of them can blow through the body armor cops wear. "

Frist they pat Zumbo on the head for being a good little boy and admonishing thos nasty "assault weapons" then they turn right around a day later and bite him in the ass.

Sounds about right to me...

I'd like a few minutes face to face with whoever writes that blog.

I'd like a few minutes face to face with whoever writes that blog.

Honestly, what's the point? I mean you can break your foot off in his ass, and that might relive some tension...but then he'd just blog about "The Gun-loving barbarian" (Remember, in their eyes we're just looking for somthing to shoot, and passing the Castle Doctrine around the country to legalize murder )

OR you could sit down with books and studies (all peer-reviewed) and show them that gun control has done nothing to crime...except maybe raise it. and they'll just talk about "All guns are made to kill" and "You carry to make your penis bigger" and "I don't NEED a gun"

Blah blah blah.

These people get this way from a steady diet of ANYTHING that doesn't resemble the truth.

Arrrr

The 2nd amendment isn't about hunting. This is why our constitution is meaningless today: widespread ignorance of what it is designed to do.

And "gun control" isn't about crime either.....it's about disarming America and attempting to abolish the 2nd ammendment.

 

[sksguns]

Has GOAL expressed an opinion on this? Should we (gun owners) use this to launch a campaign to more vocally defend our pro-2 rights? I mean, at what point will the straw have broken the camel's back?

 

[Scrivener]

Zumbo's implosion seems to be proceeding perfectly fine without organizational assistance. Far better to let his immolation be fueled by his burning his own grass roots.

 

[sksguns]

I don't know who else sponsors this guy but I hope they all follow suit...

 

[tele_mark]

Very smart move on their part.

Remington is dumping him, this is from the Remington site:

NOTICE: Remington is in the process of severing our sponsorships with Mr. Zumbo. Remington in no way shares or advocates any of the comments made by Mr. Zumbo on his blog site. A formal announcement will be released by noon today.

This is freakin' awesome. The fact that this guy has been burned at the stake this quickly over this is a GOOD thing for us. I just read in the Globe this morning that Romney has joined the NRA - apparently he is sucking up because he knows where his votes are going to come from. This whole Dumbo thing should not be allowed to go away - we should keep at this as a warning to anybody who might think about trying this sort of crap again.

If we could somehow take the momentum that has been generated from this and create more backlash against other manufacturers and companies that support gun bans we might really get something going.

The key would to not dissipiate our energies but to pick one company - not necessarily a gun related company - but a company that is reasonably well known - and then make them pay dearly for their anti gun stance by doing to them what is happening to Dumbo now.

This is exactly what the socialists do - they pick a person or a company and make an example of them and everybody else falls in line. It is time we give them back a little of their own medicine.

Great, that's what should happen when you 'shoot off your mouth' !

I left my post on his BLOG and I intend to spread the link around to everyone I know.
Thanks BPM990D for bringing it to our attention.

I hope that Remington reads my response and pulls their support for this over-inflated liberal @$$ kisser.

They do. On their homepage www.remington.com they have a big notice posted.

Not a problem, it was posted on nationalmatch.us and I just had to pass it along.

I left a message on his blog that said I was angry at his use of the term terrorist to classify a type of rifle, and by extension their owners. I knew someone from the Boston area that was on the first flight that slammed into the WTC. He and his wife were massacred on their way to their daughters wedding. For this jack ass to use that word to describe me, and some of the guns I own and my friends, pissed me off. His apology didn't address that most disgusting use of the term to describe me. He claimed that he was simply wrong about the facts, and oh, by the way, I'm shooters and hunters best friend.....honest....pinky swear. It only made me angrier. He needs to find another line of work.

Tom Gresham's show also pissed me off because he was running interference for him, but never really talked about using the word terrorist to describe us. Ted Nugent's sight is full of apologists as well. As far as I'm concerned, all three of them can f*** off.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



Remington to Sever Sponsorship Ties with Jim Zumbo


Madison, North Carolina – As a result of comments made by Mr. Jim Zumbo in recent postings on his blog site, Remington Arms Company, Inc., has severed all sponsorship ties with Mr. Zumbo effective immediately. While Mr. Zumbo is entitled to his opinions and has the constitutional right to freely express those options, these comments are solely his, and do not reflect the views of Remington.

“Remington has spent tens of millions of dollars defending our Second Amendment rights to privately own and possess firearms and we will continue to vigorously fight to protect these rights,” commented Tommy Millner, Remington’s CEO and President. “As hunters and shooters of all interest levels, we should strive to utilize this unfortunate occurrence to unite as a whole in support of our Second Amendment rights.”

We regret having to terminate our long-standing relationship with Mr. Zumbo, who is a well-respected writer and life-long hunter.

On a holiday weekend no less. He never even made it until Tuesday.

Good for Remington!

This is freakin' awesome. The fact that this guy has been burned at the stake this quickly over this is a GOOD thing for us.

There was a part of me that thought that the majority of American gun owners were simply Elmer Fudds like Zumbo.

I don't think that so much anymore.

We can still stand united for our rights!

Arrrrr

I love the comment direct from Outdoor Life stating these views are not on par with the Outdoor Channel quote:

"So while I don’t share Jim’s view on this, I also know that he is still the same wonderfully talented and good-natured person he was before this post went up. For those of you who have followed him for all or part of his more than thirty years at Outdoor Life, I would ask you to bear that in mind before damning him with personal attacks. "

Quoting: John B. Snow
Executive Editor
Outdoor Life


Well his view reflects very poorly on the Outdoor Life and maybe a slap to the head would not be uncalled for.

 

[LORD of WAR]

I just got this response back from Gerber Gear. Looks like they need further slapping:

2:02 pm (22 minutes ago)

Following Jim Zumbo’s recent comments, those of us at Gerber would like to clarify that we respect the opinion of our sponsored hunters and users however, we do not necessarily agree with all their opinions, nor do we endorse their public statements. Our presence and development in the tactical and hunting markets is proof-positive we are committed to supporting these industries and all those involved.

Since Jim’s blog was published he has issued this apology: http://outdoorlife.blogs.com/zumbo/2007/02/i_was_wrong_big.html.



Thanks for supporting our rights and for supporting Gerber Legendary Blades.
