The Jim Zumbo Affair March 7th, 2007
The blogs are aflame with opinions about Jim Zumbo’s betrayal of his fellow gun owners a few weeks back. Smoke on the Water has a couple of good posts here and here, Geek with a .45 weighs in here with a decent summary of Zumbo’s apologies. Michael Bane asks the question ‘where do we go from here?’, and Snowflakes in Hell says Zumbo’s sincerity doesn’t matter.
It looks like folks are ready to give Zumbo a chance to redeem himself. It looks like he is on the path to redemption, but I’d rather sit back and watch him for a bit before allowing him back into the fold. What he wrote was very wrong, I was among those that wrote to his advertisers and demanded his head, and I am willing to forgive but only after I see some action from him that earns it. So far it looks like he’s taking the right steps.
