Boy, I leave the state for a week, and all of this happens!

Jim Zumbo screwed up. He apologized. He ruined his own career. He gave the anti's more fuel to run their machine.

I just spent a lot of time reading all of the posts, and I learned a lot. Then it happened. On page four, we started fighting each other. At this point, haven't the anti's won?

I've read all of your posts for years, and have developed respect for you, and have gained a little insight into your beliefs. I don't pretend to understand everything that makes you tick, and I don't try to judge anyone.

Fact: We are all passionate about gun ownership, and we do NOT want that right taken away in any form.

Fact: A high profile individual in the hunting community criticized something that many of us believe in.

Fact: That criticizm(sp?) will more than likely be used against us.

What we do not need to happen is for this issue to divide US, because the conquer part will soon follow.

Fabs, Lil Red, Skeet, et al: I enjoy reading your posts, and I respect where all of you are coming from.

Diversity can make us great, but division will make us weak.
