He's done..maybe he can get a job with the Hillary Clinton as the representative to outdoor groups of Fudds.

Not Hillary, but rather Rudy Guiliani another anti-gun traitor running as a republican.

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.

"For the time being", huh? We'll see. For now, though, all OL has done is yank the blog page to cut off critical comments.

Hey, who knows -- maybe now Remington will start making AR-15s, as penance. $;-)

What does Remington do better or offer that the several-dozen other AR15 clone builders don't already offer? Possible answer: a Remington 5R-type barrel built for the AR15 or M4. Though there have been rumbles that some current-production Remington rifles are using Chinese-made barrels.

An all-stainless Remington R15 would be a little heavier than an allow Colt or clone. But I bet a lot of buyers would go for it if they'd produce it, particularly in a matrh-grade barrel version.

That's what grenades are for...

It appears that Outdoor Life has now shut down his blog.

Seems that the Outdoor Life folks get the purpose of the 2nd Amend even if Dumbo Zumbo doesn't IT AIN'T ABOUT HUNTING!! (I wonder what happened to my neat RPG graphic in post 233 Is there a Zumbo in the admin mods?)

"Looks like Mr. Zumbo issued a followup apology on his blogsite......... Wonder if anyone here read it..."

Yeah, I read it. CYA tactic.

One good thing, before this I had never heard the term "Fudd" before. Once I figured it out, I realized I've seen hundreds of them over the years. :)

Now you know, you wascally wabbit!

They are the only ones who will tolerate him now.

Maybe he can get a gig as a backup singer for the Dixie Chicks?

...and why noy[t]? Didn't Remington market this AUTOMATIC rifle for kids, years ago?

Ah, a Remington Nylon 66! Best .22 rifle ever made. Had one as a teenager in the late '60s. Fired nearly 20,000 rounds out of it and it NEVER, even once, jammed!

I like this one, courtesy of one of the nice folks over at AR-15.com:

Nothing fancy about it, but it speaks loud and clear.

There may be a species more obnoxious and insufferable than the hunting snob, but I can't think of what it might be.

Catch & release fly-fishing snobs.

Well, several posters had requested that the blog be pulled. But that horse is already out of the barn.

And somewhere there's another webmaster wondering "Why does stuff like this always happen on a holiday weekend?" :-)

[ozzymandus]

They've pulled his blog, hopefully he'll be out of a job. No more free guns, no more free gear, no more free hunting trips to exclusive "camps" the average hunter will never see, no more expense accounts, etc, etc.

[ZULU]

He's right about hunting and military rifles.


But the Second Amendment isn't about hunting.

There's a photoshop thread on www.AR15.com.

Funny stuff, but they're not ready for primetime at your level.

LOL! Live ammo could solve a lot of problems in Hollywood.

If you ever get the chance, pick up a rental video of the 1970 yawner-Adventure flick The Adventurers, based on a Harold Robbins novel that at least had Ernie Borgnine in a supporting role as *FatCat*.

Partially filmed in Colombia, the helpful Colombian military lent some troops as extras for a couple of battle scenes, and some armored vehicles for the grand battle of the revolutionaries taking over the National Palace in the capitol city of *Corteguay.* Unfortunately, the movie makers had brought the wrong blank ammo for the 7mm Mauser rifles used by the Colombian army at that time... No problemo, Señor; the officers in charge told their soldados to fire at each other using live ammo, but to just *miss over the heads by a little bit...*

Which they for the most part obediently did, but for one poor goof who took a hit on-camera and tumbled off the hillside perch where he'd looked so realistic! as he fell.... In fact, it looked sooooogood that they left it in the film. Now THAT is putting yourself into your part!

In the city scene with the armored cars, the extras portraying the revolutionary mob intent on stringing up the dictator bypass the street guarded by the cars' roadblock and slip around via the beach instead.

After the movie's completion and the actors had returned to Hollywood, the fraudulent election of Misael Pastrana Borrero in 1970 [in Colombia, not Hollywood] resulted in the defeat of the relatively populist candidate Gustavo Rojas Pinilla, followed by mass demonstrations that resulted in a State of Siege after the mob, you guessed it, evaded major streets blocked by military vehicles and instead came up the beach....

Unfortunately, Santafé de Bogotá, the capitol of Colombia, unlike fictional *Corteguay* is located in the country's interior, far from such helpful beaches. And Borrero and his National Front party stayed in power until 1974.
