OK.
So, you're not happy that Zumbo was fired? Why?
See, Zumbo had a job(jobs, really, endorsement deals, I think) where a lot of the money he made for his employers was coming from gun folks. When he made remarks prejudicial to their rights, they said they wouldn't tolerate any more of their money being used to pay for it. And the people taking their money honored their wishes. How is that a bad thing? It's a good thing; something to be happy about.
What if we put so much shame on the Violence Policy Center's contributors that they couldn't afford to keep the doors open, and Josh Sugarman had to get a real job. Would you think that was wrong, too?
Oh, and the Walmart thing isn't moot. It's called a hypothetical.
The Wal Mart thing isn't theoretical either -- they are selling ARs in some of their stores. That is neither moot or theoretical, it just isn't consistant, since other WalMarts (like MINE!
) are NOT carrying them!
From what I recall Zumbo said something I disagree with and paid a price. It's too late to undo that now.
Fistful, a neighbor and good friend of my mother's ran a sporting goods store for over 50 years with her husband. When he did she kept on running it. At one point my mother and I were discussing guns and such (don't recall the whole conversation) and it came up that she (the gun store owner lady) doesn't carry or sell "assault rifles."
That did sort of bother me because I was, and am, very pro 2A. But it didn't stop me from being good friends with her, as I was with her husband when he was alive.
Later on after that conversation I recall stopping in her store (the branch in Decatur where I live) and noticed an M-1 carbine near a counter .... so I have to wonder how strick her edict about "assault rifles" really was, though I never did see any AR-15s there. I did see a number of Brownings and other good stuff.
Unfortunatly, the lady to whom I am refering is now retired and one branch of her store has shut down and the other is .... well, let's say it's seen "better days."
You can't always fight every fight, all the time, with everyone you know or are acquinted with. Zumbo stuck his foot in his mouth and paid a price. My mother's friend was a friend and I did not think it my place to get into a argument or debate with her. It was her store and in the end she could just point out that very fact and that would be that.
I don't know why all of you knuckleheads don't understand. We need laws to restrict every move, every word, every desire, every thought, up to and including the clothing that is worn by liberals and statist and leftist.
Rightwingedness duber alles!!!!
FINALLY! Someone with a SOLUTION!!!!!
BTW, what does "duber" mean?
