Josh Sugarmann would probably love it if we called for a Zumboing of Jan Libourel. It would confirm everything he believes about us. But it’s not likely. See, I don’t have a problem with Libourel expressing his opinion: However, being an old-fashioned, low-tech sort of guy, I always felt that a plain old short-barreled 12 … Continue reading “I Think the Man is Itching to See a Zumboing”
USA Today is reporting on the ouster of Dan Cooper. Includes a link to Firearms and Freedom, and credits gun bloggers in helping generate the outrage.
I do think this is one of those times when the shooting community seriously needs to come together, as we did in the aftermath of Jim Zumbo. Joe Huffman has exactly why here: Here is what really got to me: Creating a record and alert system to record when a gun sold at Wal-Mart is … Continue reading “Time to Zumbo Wal-Mart”
A lot of people on forums have been pointing out this video by Joaquin Jackson: [youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=uSGySNLyACE[/youtube] Jackson released a statement through NRA about this video here, where he says: In the interview, when asked about my views of “assault weapons,†I was talking about true assault weapons – fully automatic firearms.

… the issue that just won’t die! Over at SayUncle, it would appear the Zumbo thing arises from the dead yet again. I agree with Unc that it would seem Zumbo is getting it. Let’s welcome him back to the party, because it would appear he’s been gotten to by us crazy frothing at the … Continue reading “Return of the Zumbo Zombie”
I started a comment in the last thread and decided it would probably be a more effective post. Sailorcurt mentioned in a comment: I disagree with the big picture conclusion however: the implication that we can’t be more effective if we mobilize on Washington Politics like we did on Zumbo. I wouldn’t really assert that … Continue reading “Further Thoughts on “Zumboing””
I want to talk about another meme moving around in the gun blogosphere that goes something like this: “Wow, look at what we managed to do to Jim Zumbo! If we only applied that kind of pressure to Congress, we’d be buying MP5s from Wal-Mart in no time!”. Oh, how I wish that were true. … Continue reading “Zumboing Politics”
