The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
My friend Jym (I didn’t put him up to it, I swear) comments something that I think is worth pointing out in a post: A good example of the damage you’re doing to yourselves over this is my father. My father was a hunter and NRA member for many years and brought me on several … Continue reading “From The Comments”
Well, no, not really. Paul Helmke is full fo shit: After posting this blog, Zumbo was fired from the magazine, had his television show on the Outdoor Channel cancelled, and lost his sponsors. The NRA suspended their long-term relationship with Zumbo and pointed to the destruction of Zumbo’s career as an example of what happens … Continue reading “Surprise!”
Uncle thinks that those of us who were quick to crucify Jim Zumbo ought to write Outdoor Life and tell him that they should give him his job back. I heartily agree. I would add one thing to that though. I’d really like to see Jim use his homecoming article to educate hunters about the … Continue reading “I Second That”
The other Sebastian says some very interesting things about the hearing for the MD Assault Weapons Ban. For one, the anti-gunners mentioned the Zumbo statements. For two, he says in the comments about 210 people turned out. That’s a good turnout for a committee meeting! State legislature committee meetings usually don’t attract any attention. That’s … Continue reading “Early Good News from Maryland”
Of Arms an the Law has some thoughts about “false flag” operations: The problem here is that folks who like the first may assume (as traditionalists) that traditional values apply. People may be taken at their word. The other side is not obsessive, but has rational limits. If they say they only dislike AR-15s and … Continue reading “Dave Hardy Warns of False Flags”
Back when I got the blog started, I decided to do an all day feature called Full Auto Day. The entire Jim Zumbo affair, and the shooting and hunting communities response to it, has prompted me to start work on another all day feature called “Gun Control and Hunting Day”, where it’s my intention to … Continue reading “Working on A New Feature”
…they pick up the Zumbo story. Not really that postworthy in itself, but check out the comments. I have to wonder, is there’s any other group of people the left looks down upon more than shooters? Even the religious right doesn’t seem to draw this kind of vitriol. It’s pretty clear to me that the … Continue reading “Over at HuffPo…”
… to believe the government ought to respect the Bill of Rights? That’s what I’d really like to know from all the people tossing around accusations that we ruined Jim Zumbo because he deviated from the NRA orthodoxy. And as someone who could be regarded as “liberal” on more than a few issues, and who’s … Continue reading “Since when is it extreme …”
Anyone else noticed the large number of comments from hunters on our blogs defending Jim Zumbo, while at the same time being rather derogatory toward our community? I can’t blame them for being a little angry given how some in our community have been behaving, but a lot of them seem to be pretty ill … Continue reading “When Hunters Attack”
From Phil Elmore of The Martialist: A man who presumes to tell you that you cannot own a firearm is not just pissing on the United States Constitution and the Second Amendment; he is presuming to tell you how much your life is worth. He is saying he sees no reason to make it easier … Continue reading “Quote of the Day”
