NRA Publications Suspends Ties to Jim Zumbo

(FAIRFAX, VA) – The following statement was issued by the National Rifle
Association of America.
Comments expressed by outdoor writer Jim Zumbo reflect neither the
opinions of the National Rifle Association and America’s gun owners, nor
are they an accurate portrayal of facts in regard to semi-automatic
firearms lawfully owned by millions of citizens. Therefore, NRA
Publications has suspended its professional ties with Mr. Zumbo.
The ensuing wave of grassroots response in support of the Second
Amendment is a clear indication that America’s gun owners will act
swiftly and decisively to counter falsehoods or misrepresentations
perpetuated by any member of the media – whether it is one of the major
networks or a fellow gun owner.
That depth of feeling and the unanimity of the response from the
nation’s firearms owners sends a message to the new Congress. It says
that millions of people understand the issue of semi-autos and will
resist with an immense singular political will any attempts to create a
new ban on semi-automatic firearms.
At the root of this grassroots response is the basic truth that ‘gun
control merely makes the innocent pay the price for the guilty’ and our
folks fully understand that their rights are at stake. It says that for
the enemies of the Second Amendment there is no chance that the kind of
divide and conquer propaganda strategy which preceded the 1994 ban on
semi-auto firearms will ever succeed again.
It is our hope that Mr. Zumbo will use his energy and talent to help
preserve our Second Amendment, America’s First Freedom, by ensuring that
no one else falls prey to the tragic demonization of gun owners.

The Second Amendment IS Homeland Security !
