what about posting some documentation that the companies we are writing to actually sponsor the guy. maybe a updated list of companies who drop him vs a list of those who keep him.
 
I used Jim Zumbo's web site to find these companies, however not all of them have email addresses to contact them.

So far Remington and Outdoor Living have taken anti-zumbo action. No word from the others yet.
 
ZUMBO

My response to every one who is sponsoring him is;
"Dear Sirs,
As a lifelong hunter and firearm owner, Mr. Zumbo's recent blog entry is causing me to re-evaluate doing business with his sponsors.
It would serve us well to remember that the second amendment is NOT about sporting arms, this fact has been upheld by the SCOTUS.
Respectfully Yours,
Bob *****
 
I've been eyeing a LTR for a couple years but it'll probably be a couple more before I get one maybe another 870 as thanks...
 
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 opinions, 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.
 
MOSSY OAK CUTS TIES

Mossy Oak strongly advocates the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights,
which gives us the right to keep and bear arms regardless of type. The
Second Amendment is vital to the outdoors lifestyle we all appreciate
and enjoy here at Mossy Oak and across the entire outdoor industry.

"It is unfortunate that a long-time hunter and outdoor writer took a
personal position that was unsupportive of the Second Amendment which
does not differentiate between firearm types." said Butch English,
Executive VP of Sales and Marketing for Mossy Oak. "As a result of
comments made by Mr. Jim Zumbo in recent postings on his blog site, Haas
Outdoors, Inc. the home of Mossy Oak Brand Camo has ended all
sponsorship ties with Mr. Zumbo effective immediately. While we strongly
disagree with Mr. Zumbo's opinion, we respect his constitutional,
guaranteed right to speak freely."

As shooters and hunters, we should all help educate and promote
responsible firearm information and safety. It is important for the
outdoor industry to focus our attention to educate those opposed to any
type of anti-hunting or anti-Second Amendment movement.


You may email Joedee Henry: [email protected] to thank them for taking the proper action.
 
So far, it looks like I'll:

Be getting a new Remington 700
Decking out in Mossy Oak for hunting
Using High Mountain Jerky season when I make deer jerky

As of now, I'll be looking elsewhere for my knives and scopes.

Well Stoney Point has an auto reply setup so that you cannot contact them. They say:
Stoney Point advertising is with The Outdoor Channel. Any opinions expressed by Mr. Zumbo are those of Mr. Zumbo and do not represent the opinion of Stoney Point.
Stoney Point is a long time supporter of the NRA and supportive of Second Amendment rights.
Stoney Point Management

Thats weird because they are on Zumbo's page of the shows sponsors. Either way, that was a blow off answer they gave.
 
OK, I contacted all the sponsors listed on http://www.jimzumbo.com/links.html The sponsors who have dropped him officially are in alphabetical order:

Ask for Jim. Doesn't sound like they are going to drop him. Claiming freedom of speech.
