He writes: "My mistake was tumultous--an error of the highest order. I had engaged my mouth (or fingers on the keyboard) before engaging my brain." And after taking the Carbine Operators Class held at the Boone County Sheriff's range in Lebanon, Indiana? "...the class was very enlightening and was one of the greatest events of my life."

But I don't think Jim Zumbo was ever really anti gun. He's a traditionalist. He didn't like the use of ARs in hunting. He's entitled to that opinion, I think. It was the "terrorist rifle" comment that really got him into hot water. If he had just made a post about how he didn't think these rifles were appropriate for hunting, he might have gotten some disagreement, but that's as far as it would have gone.

He handled the aftermath with class, and worked pretty hard to set things right. I think most of us here in the gun blogging community have forgiven him.

I wouldn't necessarily say Jim's done more for the shooting community in general - but that he has done more for the Black Rifle industry (although inadvertently) in relation to hunting. More hunters will be using Black Rifles in the future - and Jim will be either directly or indirectly responsible. I agree that Jim should be forgiven, welcomed back, and published!
