Or is the American gunowners' backlash justified? Earlier we asked (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArKxgJBe5L8n5gdTlH.jizfsy6IX?qid=20070219154839AAteCSu ) what Jim Zumbo said that ticked off Remington Arms and Outdoor Life. Today on MSNBC.com, an article from the Washington Post (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17307316/ ) seems to make Zumbo out as the victim, claiming he was sacrificed to prevent a rift between American hunters and Americans that own firearms that the "ANTI'S" call assault weapons. Personally, I shoot an AR in competition, and am building an AR-based spacegun as a Match Rifle. I know his comments on these "terrorist rifles" did not leave a favorable impression with me.
Has the gunowning community been too harsh with this writer? Has the NRA used this instance to paint a wrong impression of the intentions of the gunowning community? Or has Mr. Zumbo merely illuminated a rift that has been hidden between hunters, competitors, and collectors?
