Pulling a Zumbo
Yes, the piling on is distasteful. But it is necessary. As Ron said, the man is radioactive. His career as a hunting and gun rag writer is over. But can anyone think of another incident, another reaction this immediate and strong? I can't. Maybe I'm overanalyzing it, but maybe, just maybe, we're seeing the wall of separation between "gunnies" and hunters melting. Wingshooters, trap and skeeters, muzzleloaders, and sportsmen, are starting to wake up to the idea that it isn't about "assault weapons" and EBRs, but every single firearm in private hands. We are all threatened.
And if the O/U crowd still looks down at us? Fine--but I'll bet they'll bite their tongues, lest they "Pull a Zumbo". Because if we do not hang together, we shall surely hang separately--but the Zumbo will hang first--we will see to it.
