Default What ever became of Zumbo?

What ever became of Jim Zumbo ? He went from Outdoorlife hunting editor to an anti black gun poster child. I must confess that I share Zumbo's opinion, that I personally have no use for black guns. They feel heavy, clunky and as balanced as a thrashing machine in my opinion. I do however respect others rights to own and hunt with them if they choose. The ironic part as I see it is that black guns have never been more popular, in part to the publicity of the gun manufacturers crucifying Zumbo. Maybe Rock river and Remington should send him an appreciation note.

There are times when a person can't help himself and really puts his foot ion his mouth - that was one!
He did some damage control in a letter of sorts, not sure what he's doing now however, likely writing for the same people.....
