What gets me about this whole thing is his excuse for why he wrote the original post. Basically it was "I was tired and I didn't think."
I write a blog for GSI and I never write a post that I haven't given a great deal of thought too before it is posted. In my opinion it is terribly irresponsible and an insult to your readers to post something off the top of your head.
Also, it seemed to strain credibility a bit that this guy has been an NRA member for 40 years and he didn't know that people used assault rilfes to hunt and that such use was controversial. I've only been closely involved with the hunting community for about a year and I know that.
What is really sad is that his thoughtless comments will effect more than just him. What about all the people who might lose their paychecks if his television show goes off the air?
