Zumbo used the phrase, "hunting fraternity".

He probably doesn't like target shooters either, some of them might use a semi.

Zumbo is an elderly gentleman who has been in the woods hunting for many decades. He is used to seeing and using 30/30s and 30odd6s and other more traditional hunting rifles. The fad to use black military rifles on hunting trips is relatively recent - - not something that was typical in the '50s, '60s, '70s, or '80s.

So, apparently Zumbo is elderly and gets upset with newfangled trends. Gee, surprise, surprise. (Like I said in an earlier post, I too find the trend tacky.) Zumbo's big foot-in-mouth moment came when he said that "game departments should ban them (military rifles) from the praries and woods". I think this was just his misguided way of blubbering about how upset he was.

He has apologized profusely, and I believe sincerely, and I think people should cut the old guy a break. Flame away.
