Ouch! Check out what just appeared on Remington's website (the green circle with the exclamation point). That sure was quick. Looks like Mr. Zumbo is hating life as of now.

I think it would be better to have him get an epiphany, though (with a little help from his friends in the firearms community), and then let him preach it from here on.

You need to update your screen grab. It appears that Remington doesn't want to go into Chjapter 11 bankruptcy the way K-Mart did after waffling about firing Rosie O'Donnell as their Spokeshog:

Remington to Sever Sponsorship Ties with Jim Zumbo

Madison, North Carolina – As a result of comments made by Mr. Jim Zumbo in recent postings on his blog site, Remington Arms Company, Inc., has severed all sponsorship ties with Mr. Zumbo effective immediately. While Mr. Zumbo is entitled to his opinions and has the constitutional right to freely express those options, these comments are solely his, and do not reflect the views of Remington.

“Remington has spent tens of millions of dollars defending our Second Amendment rights to privately own and possess firearms and we will continue to vigorously fight to protect these rights,” commented Tommy Millner, Remington’s CEO and President. “As hunters and shooters of all interest levels, we should strive to utilize this unfortunate occurrence to unite as a whole in support of our Second Amendment rights.”

We regret having to terminate our long-standing relationship with Mr. Zumbo, who is a well-respected writer and life-long hunter.
We don't have enough gunowners to afford to be able to eat one of our misguided own...

Think of Dumbo Zumbo as being a deserter in wartime, or as a traitor to both his cause and country.

I caught a re-run of the old TV movie about Pvt. Slovak. It was quite well-cast, IMO. :-)
