The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
I’m not sure I’d agree with the assertion out there that we’re about to divide into Fudds and Shooters. I’ve seen few people defending Zumbos actual comments, but I think a lot of people lining up in his corner are defending Jim Zumbo the man, more than defending what he said. We do need to … Continue reading “The Zumbo Defenders”
Folks, I have to tell you, I think we have some real allies out there in the industry who are willing to go to bat for us. This from Cabela’s forums: While Cabela’s believes everyone has the right to express their own opinions, we strongly disagree with Jim Zumbo’s February 16 posting on his Hunting … Continue reading “Cabela’s Also Reconsidering Zumbo”
Jim Zumbo has apologized for his blog entry. I’m inclined to let bygones be bygones, but dude, you suggested we were terrorists! I exepct shit like that from the Brady’s and VPC, but not one of our own. I’m willing to forgive, but I won’t forget. Once stuff like that gets out there, there’s really … Continue reading “Zumbo Apologizes”
Tam notes in response to this segment with Pat Mac on Jordan Klepper’s Comedy Central special: Jordan Klepper Solves GunsGet More: Watch More Stand-Up. Tam notes: I’ve participated in two internet lynch mobs of the sort. Both were for print journos (former Outdoor Life writer Jim Zumbo and former RECOIL editor Jerry Tsai) who spoke … Continue reading “Burning Heretics: Pat Mac Edition”
I admit that I had to do a double take when I saw the Facebook image and news flash across my screen that NSSF has invited Bill Engvall to be the new headliner at SHOT this year. I mean, they bill him as a target-shooting hunter, what would possibly be bad about that? Well, except … Continue reading “He Hunts, He Fishes, He Doesn’t Like Modern Sporting Rifles”
I’m happy to repot that Bitter is done with her illness and on the mend, just in time for me to get sick again. Based on the fact that I don’t feel like death warmed over, I’m guessing just a cold. It certainly seems to be following the cold progression, and my temp is only … Continue reading “Thursday News Links”
Crying victimization in the media yet again, this time to Politico. Jim Zumbo accepted his career’s public hanging with more grace and class, and at least tried to make things right. And what Zumbo said was a lot worse. He’s continuing to feed the narrative of a gun rights movement dominated by extremists and foaming … Continue reading “Metcalf Triples Down”
This article has been in my tabs for days, because I wanted to add something more than just a link to it, but the words either just weren’t coming, or it was stuff I’ve already said about it. It’s my opinion that after this article, I don’t think Dick Metcalfe can be forgiven. I was … Continue reading “Dick Metcalfe in the New York Times”
Tam notes that someone from the 1990s girls with guns culture has turned on the cause. You can put me squarely in the “Paxton Who?” camp. I had never heard of this woman before Tam’s post just now. Tam notes: Jesus, Paxton, et tu? It only takes one awshit to erase a dozen attagirls. I’m washing … Continue reading “Paxton Quigley”
I like it when I can take a break over a weekend to work on my basement office, get a new crown fitted at the Dentist Monday morning, and not have to worry about some media personality spewing nonsense about guns, because the other parts of the center-right coalition, and even some not part of it, … Continue reading “Comment on Weekend Twitter Outrage over Costas’ Remark”
