Is Mr. Zumbo, like so many here, merely saying how he feels about some automatic firearms as double owners do? This board influenced my decision to get rid of clickety-clacks and become the purist of my youth. I've taken up archery again and thinking differently about the boom-bangs.
David Petzal and Jim Zumbo may be espousing a "lighter footprint" of environmentalism to draw off unreasoned heat, to set out clearly that sportsmen aren't group-think. Rightly or wrongly, justified or otherwise, in this case, leaders lead and from what I'm reading here he's done well for sportsmen for a long time.
Personally, I've been bolt-action since 1939 and wouldn't hunt seriously with a guy carrying an AR-15. The first shot counts. Saying that in a public forum should not be "a death wish" any more than saying we're liberal or conservative, Mormon or atheist (although the latter is apparently the most despised minority in the United States). Must we choose between PBS, CNN and Fox News?
All the above, of course, are welcomed in our home.
