"Thank you all for letting me speak. Yes, I know the 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting and hunting guns, and yes, I promise you I am now dedicated to educate all shooters that we must all stick together regardless of our gun choices, and also tolerate the firearms others may choose to use if they are dissimilar to ours. I will do everything I can, within my power as a journalist and public speaker, to protect the 2nd Amendment and America's gun owners."

Quotation by prominent gun writer in a private forum:
Well, in the bigger picture, what has happened to Zumbo and now Petzal serves as a signal to Congress, as that gomer wrote in the Washington Post article.
If we, as a community, are willing to butcher giants like Zumbo and Petzal in public, it may give some of those on Capitol Hill pause before they try to take on gun rights. "We have awakened a sleeping giant, and filled him with a terrible resolve."
The timing of this is remarkable. Carolyn McCarthy introduced HR 1022 the other day to renew and expand the AWB. and make it permanent. Days later, the EBR community (Evil Black Rifle) is energized as they have not been before. Even if it was only a lynch party, they may now be fired up enough to turn their attention toward their own congressional representatives.
We can only hope. To that end. Zumbo probably DID do us all a favor.
I learned some really interesting things in watching the various forums, the main thing being that the companies that sell black rifles must be distributing history books because the guys with those rifles are the ones who "get it" about the 2nd Amendment.
New Lexicon:
FUDD - Hunters who don't understand the 2nd Amendment.
ARF - Someone who owns an "EBR". Contraction of AR-Fifteen.
EBR - Evil black rifle
GOMER - Haven't figured this one out yet. Seems to be the opposite
of a FUDD. May be a reference to Gomer Pyle.
Zumbo's replacement is David Petzal who is now getting "Zumboed":

"Here's how it is. Tho a nice man, there was a maniacally out of touch Jim Zumbo right into Sunday 2-18-07. He got coldcocked by his friends & enemies alike, rightly so, for his outrageously insane antigun statements, most offensively calling for a ban & daring to reference our beloved rifles to terrorists. I cannot imagine a dumber, more egregious mistake against his own. Then Monday 2-19 arose, I & others intensely educated Jim to his 1-ignorance, 2-insane antigun mindset, 3-how perfect all guns are, 4-that the 2nd Amendment has absolutely nothing to do with hunting. On all counts, Jim Zumbo, after a long, illustrious 67 year life & blindfolded gun career, now stands ABSOLUTELY with 2nd Amendment ABSOLUTISTS & not only deserves our forgiveness, he & we all need to take advantage of his horrific mistake & let all gunners who are so stupid to think the way he did prior to 2-18 that they are deadass wrong & out & out antigun AND THAT ALL OF EM MUST UPGRADE as Jim has done. This is a grand "Spotlight the Cockroach" moment my friends. Use it wisely & frwd motion will be ours. Thankyou all for your input, now let us UPGRADE on, shall we!"
A post from The Nuge. I always wished The Nuge would run for some public office, he has a way with words.
At least Private Pyle was a Marine!
Has he yet attacked those who deceived him and then sought to use the fact that he fell for their deception as justification for their falsehoods?
