After following this over the past week I have come to some conclusions. I need to first clarify what I mean by forgiven. I am a firm believer if someone wrongs me and repents that he should be forgiven. However this is not what I am talking about.
I think that Mr. Zumbo should take up any genuine offers to educate himself in the use of tactical rifles. I would also welcome him if he chose to join me on a shoot, however I would have nothing to teach him on these AR types of rifles, as I do not own one.
With that out of the way, we can now get to the heart of what I am writing; Zumbo's unforgiveness. You see; I am a 2nd Amendment Supporter first, a collector of Curio and Relics and other military style firearms second, a shooter third and a hunter (if thats what you call occasionally freezing your butt off in the woods) last. One thing is that no matter how we place our priorities we all should have the same number one priority: the 2nd Amendment, without it the others matter not.
The article posted by Mr Zumbo was not: 1) a precision comparison of bolt action to AR type rifles, 2) a ballistics comparrison of various ammo capabilities 3) a dependability comparison based on functionality and number of moving parts. It was in its truest form GUN SNOBBERY and a complete lack of respect for someone else's 2nd amendment rights.
I would never, no matter how much I dislike a gun, no matter how much I dislike a certain genre that uses a certain gun, NEVER tell someone that their gun choice does not belong, has no place, and should be banned. If I were to do this then my choice of gun has no relevance and would be undeserving of ownership as I would have condemned another's choice. And I certainly would never describe a gun with the term "Terrorist". Someone who has been in the NRA for 40 years and as well respected hunter should have known this! For this Jim Zumbo should NEVER be forgiven.
Jim Zumbo should never make another dime off his name. He should never write, or publish for that matter, any opinions on firearms or firearms skills. He should never endorse, or be endorsed, by any name or label no matter how big or small. He should never recieve another free promotional item to be tried out or tested. He should just simply fade away only to be rolled out as an example of what true 2nd amendment support is all about.
