That would be like hating Charlie McCarthy instead of Edgar Bergan.

Good for you, Comadre (and your husband also ;>)!!!
In his apology, he stated that he wasn't aware people use "black" guns to hunt. Once he could tie "black" guns to hunting, they were OK.
Last year's prairie dog fishing tournament was held in October and was followed by a prairie dog chili cook-off.
Zumbo deserved WORSE than he got - who is he to call his law-abiding neighbors "terrorists?"
When those squirrels , big greys, start climbing on the bird feeder, I have a 9 mil pistol I can't shoot well.I need range time , but here in Vermont , my property can be my range.
After watching 15 grey squirrels raid the feeders and keep all avians away, I got out the nine mil and took 5 of them in 20 minutes, expending too much ammo ( 15 rounds at 30 yards) . Now the greys feed only on the ground.
Range time, ya can't beat it.
Heh heh. Fortunately, we don't have too many squirrels here on the other side of the Connecticut River, just a whole lot of chipmunks, which the bobcat and fisher cat population seems to keep in check.
Being able to see is right up there with range time. In my younger days I could hit a three inch circle at fifty feet, each time every time, shooting offhand, using a .22 revolver. No training or range time, just one of those fortunate people born with hand-eye coordination that permitted me to look and shoot, hitting whatever I was looking at, without sighting.
Then my eyes changed. Today I couldn't hit a target that small with a shotgun, and wouldn't give odds for a hand grenade.
Oddly enough, that talent never translated into long guns. The only way I've ever been able to hit something with a rifle was to sneak up on it and beat it to death with the butt.
Give Jim Zumbo's columns to Jim Shepherd
That would be like hating Charlie McCarthy instead of Edgar Bergan.
Zumbo did vastly more damage to the gun rights movement than any comments or angry calls by gun owners.
To have not spoken out against Zumbo would have supported his arguments.
You can read more of Jim Shepherd's material at www.theoutdoorwire.com, and www.theshootingwire.com.
And don't forget it. We are the NRA and we will decide election '08.
Boy, did she have some big guns! 8-)
Maybe the RUDIBOTS should pay attention and try to understand why Zumbo Incidents happen.
