Statement from Outdoor Life
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. Outdoor Life has always been, and will always be, a steadfast supporter of our Second Amendment rights, which do not make distinctions based on the looks of the firearms we choose to own, shoot and take hunting. Please direct any comments you have to OLletters@time4.com.
"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.
This will be interesting to watch. His retraction was pretty solid, but he really has alienated a LOT of his core readership with his brazen display of ignorance.
He's earned the resultant consequences. Kinda sad really, a lot of people read his stuff.
As an aside, the sheer volume and tenacity of the response to this article is frankly inspiring - I am hopeful that any future gun ban proposals will be opposed with the same coordinated ferocity.
