Ha! So now we're a "gun discussion board"???

Good Lord, the lib media is laughable!

[JennysCool]

Ha! Don't miss this one!

[tet68]

Hahahah, I think they meant a "Gum" discussion board.

I like Chiclets.

[Jim Robinson]

Gee, after shooting his mouth off sites like FR destroyed his career? Sounds like he has a Dixie Chick mania.

Where I live we are still recovering from the economic devastation of the Civil War. Our unemployment rate is higher than average and our wage rate is lower than average. The great thing about a Chinese or Soviet-bloc SKS is that a poor man can buy one here for as little as $90 and go out and shoot a deer and eat for awhile.

[Geronimo]

We're a gun discussion board according to the NY Slimes...kind of like saying they are a gay wedding announcement rag...

[FormerACLUmember]

Free Republic is a gun focused website?

Extrapolate this lie to anything else you read in the NY Times editorial page.

[ansel12]

For all your gun discussion needs remember AR15.com , and freerepublic.com

“Excuse me, maybe I’m a traditionalist,” he wrote, “but I see no place for these weapons among our hunting fraternity.”

Like who cares what kind of a gun they use bub? Afterall, the ground hog is dead either way.

[don-o]

This is my rifle
This is my gun...

[Dallas59]

Guns are used to defend yourself and property and kill the bad guys. People kill people...not guns...SUV's....or....

Of course this sort of thing could never happen in the loving, caring wings of the democrats and liberals... After all, they're so open-minded, tolerant, and accepting of other points of view. Like when Senator Joe Lieberman, a man who has a 90%+ hard left liberal voting record, supports the War on Terror and the war in Iraq, is thrown under the bus by the dems?

You can't rely on anything published on the internet because web folks don't have editors or fact checkers like the NYT.

[Tinian]

Watch for a new left-wing phrase, soon to become common usage:

"He's been Zumbo'd."

[Domandred]

That is a debate for another day. “Excuse me, maybe I’m a traditionalist,” he wrote, “but I see no place for these weapons among our hunting fraternity.” He added: “To most of the public, an assault rifle is a terrifying thing. Let’s divorce ourselves from them. I say game departments should ban them from the prairies and woods.”

That is close to what he said but here is the actual quote:

"Excuse me, maybe I'm a traditionalist, but I see no place for these weapons among our hunting fraternity. I'll go so far as to call them “terrorist” rifles. … Sorry, folks, in my humble opinion, these things have no place in hunting. We don't need to be lumped into the group of people who terrorize the world with them, which is an obvious concern."

The BOLD parts are what caused Zumbo the problem, and he has not taken that back in any appology. Every article defending him I have seen has left that part out.

Fraking New York Slimes

He of all people should have known that “ban” is the mother of all fighting words to gun zealots.

Well, yes, he should have.

"Gun zealots" translates to "gun enthusiasts", and gun enthusiasts are precisely who buys the guy's magazine. You would think someone who made his living off of "gun enthusiasts" would know that.

[Tax Government]

Happiness is knowing NYT's stock is a dog and loser, just like NYT iself.

[p[adre29]

a pity about Zumbo (rhymes with..) however if you are going to stab members of 2nd amendment fraternity in the back, tehy may not care for the feeling and they may even *gasp* DO something about it.

He was a public figure making public statements that disparaged fellow gun owners. I am not happy that his career has taken such a hit, but you writes your words and you takes your chances....

[TADSLOS]

Hey, NYT, KISS MY "ASSAULT RIFLE"! (muzzle end, please)

[Brucifer]

So we took out the Dixie Chicks AND Zumbo. We must be bastards. Magnificent Bastards! Who shall feel our wrath next?
