It'll be a "sorry I offended you guys, please don't make them fire me"
He's already stated his opinion. I highly doubt he's changed it. |
|
I dunno what's worse - that fact he said it, or that he won't stand by it.
|
|
Too late. Damage done. Saying he's sorry just to save his job, he didn't suddenly change his POV.
|
|
+1 money can mean more than pride sometimes |
|
|
Jim's apology means jackshit!
He said it, he meant it. A real man says what he means, and means what he says. |
|
He's not sorry for anything he is saving his sponsorship because he aspoused his honest opinion and pissed off more than agreed with him. Now his sponsors are weighing thier connections to him.
|

and it keeps going... outdoorlife.blogs.com/zumbo/ |

|
Yep. He already admitted his true feelings towards us. Anything now is just trying to "fake it" and not seem like an idiot. We need to continue with his destruction. |
|
|
I would have liked to been on the phone call from Remington to Zumbo. It is always charming to hear a VP of a large company scream WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! into the phone on a Sunday morning
edit I kind of agree that "Sorry I got my dick caught in the wringer" doesn't mean a lot to me. |
|
There have been allot of these thread lately where i have no freaking idea what the OP is talking about. |
|
|
+1 bury his ass |

|
My guess is their PR guy who was on the hunt with him got some very angry messages on his Blackberry. |
|
|
"I say what I want until eighty gazillion people point out with irrefutable logic and facts just how much of a traitor I am to all law-abiding gun owners everywhere and THEN i decide I'm wrong."
Nope, sorry. No sale. He's ether a clueless fucktard or he's not willing to stand up and defend his position when the heat is on. Either way, fuck him. |
|
Fuck him.
He had the rope, he tied a noose. He can fucking hang. Piece of shit fudd motherfucker. |
|
Too fucking late. Once you step on your dick THAT hard, it stays flat.
|
|
Admitted he put his foot in his mouth? So that means what exactly? That now he doesn't think AR15s are "terrorist weapons"? Now he doesn't think that they give hunters and shooters a bad image?
We know what this traitorous piece of shit really thinks. An apology isn't going to cut it. |
|
Nor to me, but I do always like to see someone swallow their pride and deal with the public humiliation of this type when they have really fucked up. |
|
|
Is his reply supposed to be burried in with the rest of them, or is this going to be another section/page on their site? I only ask because anyone can make a comment on the blog and use his name.
|
|
What a pussy.
I still don't have any intention of supporting him through his advertisers as long as he has a job. |
|
His blog should read "I am out of touch with the true feelings of many Americans and thus I plan to retire immediately"
That would help. A little. |
|
That's because you're not on GD 24/7 with a caffeine IV drip or the optional DBFU (Direct Brain Feed Unit) so you can have the latest posts feed directly into your subconscious while you catch a few Z's. Get with the program! |

|
+1000 If the guy cant stick to his guns (no pun intended) then he is even lower than he was already IMHO. Fuck him. He has no business writing for any firearms publication. |
|
|
Wow. I have never seen a career crash and burn so fast.
For better or for worse, behold the power of the internet. |
|
For posterity.
|
|
|
+1 Nicely Put |
|
|
DITTO. Please put the link to his apology in this thread. |
|
|
Agreed unsincere apology just to try to save what little of his ass he has left.
|
|
He's sorry that he won't be getting anymore free dream hunts and free gear. He did it to himself the arrogant fuck.
|
|
OH MAN THAT IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS I EVER READ!! THANK YOU!! |
|

At this point you can't unring the bell. Screw
that crap hole and any one who sponsors him in the future,Including Remington! |
|
"I was on the series of tubes the other day, and my staff delivered me a Internet..." |
|
|
Might be right. The cowards way out. |
|
|
He is an idiot when it comes to firearms.. he's got to go... |
|
|
Remington's CEO apologized and stated that Zumbo does not speak for Remington and that they have a polar opposite stance. |
|
|
Damn he's getting hammered. I saw this one:
ALL - Jim Zumbo in NO WAY speaks for Remington! His opinions are his own. We at Remington take our 2nd Ammendment Rights extremely seriously and ourselves market and manufacturer a AR based 308 rifle. Remington Arms supports the lawful use of all firearms by thier owners in whatever legal manner they choose. We at Remington feel that it is the diversity of our tastes and uses of fireaems that should also be the binding element that assists us all in defending the rights granted to us by our fore fathers. Rest assured that remington not only does not support jim's view, we totally disagree! I have no explaination for his perspective. I proudly own AR's and support everyones right to do so! What makes me sick is how quickly people on the internet have called to boycott Remington. All Jim said was he was hunting with our people! This is normal course in our industry. How else do people think we field test? with writers. Remington has spent tens of millions of dollars to defend your rights and how quickly the thanks is threat and boycott! Please feel Free to post that remington does not agree with Zumbo in any way shape or form and we will assess our relationship with him accordingly. Tommy Millner CEO and President |

so little
so late so sorry. How is this phrased in the vernacular? Something like traitorous POS, or traitorous SOB? |
|
So they should stop paying him, don't ya think? |
||
|
At this point in time it is immaterial to me what or if he writes anything at all. Once it is out there , it is out there. No retractions and no apologies can make up for what I am sure he believes. screw em and feed him fish heads and rice.
