As is usually the case, once the adrenaline stops percolating, and I've wiped the blood from my face and spit out the unidentifiable bits of bothersome tissue, it's forgiveness time.
Almost.
Due to the controversy surrounding Jim Zumbo’s recent postings, Outdoor Life has decided to discontinue the “Hunting With Zumbo” blog for the time being. Outdoor Life has always been, and will always be, a steadfast supporter of our Second Amendment rights, which do not make distinctions based on the looks of the firearms we choose to own, shoot and take hunting. Please direct any comments you have to OLletters@time4.com.
They did the right thing. Remington did the right thing. Jim Zumbo gave a halfhearted stab with "Sorry I riled ya'll up but I was just sayin' what was on ma mind," and for that he deserves a vacation. Not as if the man will be begging in the streets. Having dealt with some of the worlds largest companies, I can say without the slightest bit of hesitation that if you, as a paid representative or sponsored associate, do anything against the best interests of said company then consider yourself toast. No apology necessary, no do-overs. The higher the monkey climbs in the tree the more of his ass is there to see*. Cozy up with the grownups and don't expect mercy. Mr. Zumbo enraged me with that little bit of Brady, and as someone who has figuratively and literally fought his butt off for these United States I will not tolerate these goings on without a bit of a vent of bile.
Jim Zumbo is not one of "ours". Jim Zumbo would kowtow to the left, hoping they allow him to keep his hunting weapons after they've disarmed the rest of us. I do not believe him to be a traitor. Traitors turn coat. Jim Zumbo has obviously forever felt this way, and was just now getting around to letting us know it. You don't work in the shooting business and not know about the popularity of the black rifle. It ate away at him until he could no longer stand these young upstarts and their plastic assault weapons.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. I wish him well in whatever endeavor he puts his mind to, and am sure that the Brady's can use a man like him.
*Me.
