Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery

I have to disagree about Ted Nugent. What he did to Zumbo, making him TRY an AR, is the same thing My ex and I did with our Son about Brussel sprouts, Try it before you tell me you don't like it.
  Do you think it was MORE appropriate that he lost his livily hood because he said something dumb once ?

Ted Nugent undertook an honorable and noble task when he helped someone "who had fallen and could not get up"

On the other hand, Jim Zumbo was an adult and 21 who got into some kind of shoving match out on assignment and went to his
keyboard to lower the boom and have the last word.  To his surprise the boom was lowered on him.

I think he honestly believed what he said and if he was somehow uneducated on the topic, as an adult, he had as many resources, if not more, to become better educated.

It is difficult to lose your livilihood if you have dotted all your "i's" and crossed all your "t's".

He, for some reason, did not and the inevitable occurred.

Just saying.

The man with the hour is always trying to sell a gun and he sounds like a used car salesman. Come on down to Billy Bob's gun emporium and get the new whiz bang ! Its only an arm and a leg ! The Misses will never miss it!

C'mon down to Bubba and sons liquor and guns where everything leaves loaded!

What we can both agree on , without any second thoughts, is that he was a HUNTING guy not a GUN guy, and he got caught talking out his butt.
I actualy think it is a GOOD thing that all his gun related sponsors dropped him. He showed a lack of respect for the people paying his way, and who wants to listen to a guy who has proven he does not know what he is talking about. If he is that ignorant about one peice of hunting gear (Semi auto rifles / AR's) then why should anyone believe him about any other peice of gear ?

Do not underestimate what Hunting Guys think about guns and equipment.  As a hunting guy myself I have a lot of skepticism about Evil Black Rifles.  It would just never occur to me to call them "terrorist" weapons and demand Government remove them from "my" woods".

Especially since Marshall helped me post the cover of Guns Magazine from 1958 which featured the first Evil Black Rifle in field trials
in the "hunting woods" of California.  Boy, those were different times.

The miracle of Le Affair Zumbo was that he (1) publicly stated what 90% of the NRA believes and (2) the people against whom
he directed his comments recognized their import and forcefully and vigorously responded.

Would that would be the case with all the lunacy that passes for public debate nowadays.

Best regards,
