Gerber Cuts Ties With Zumbo



[Via HZ]

  1. They reference hunting three times in the article. They mention our God-given, Inalienable and Inherent right ONCE.

    This is just a guess here. But, I venture out that there are a lot more of us that carry pocket knives that don't hunt. As well as our arms. Than there are those do that hunt. Which is clear indication, to me anyways, that Gerber has the cart before the horse.

    They whom put profit before principles are unworthy of the former....

  2. So... at this point, what company has not severed all ties with Jim Zumbo?

  3. Their first response was a fence straddle which actually said nothing, but indicated they wanted to see where the profit or loss was before they did anything.

    This is a business decision based on the comments they have received from customers and potential customers is the my bet.

    I am glad they are doing it, but I don't believe they did it out of principle so much as principal.

  4. After Zumbo calculates the financial disaster he has brought on himself, I fully expect he will openly go to the other side for money.

    We'll see. VPC, Brady, et al someone will meet his price and parade him as former gun nut who has "seen the light".

    Remember, you saw it here first.

  5. Perhaps he's already cut a deal with AHSA, and he just wanted to sever his old ties with a dramatic flourish.

  6. I don't know him well enough to know whether he would truly sell out. It would mean giving up all his own guns. The other side are hypocrites but won't allow hypocrisy in their toadies.

  7. Ted Nugent gave him a chance to "Fully" apologize on his forum. This apologie looks a little more sincere than the last...

  8. Sure they do, Hyunchback--Sarah Brady straw purchased a Zumbo rifle for her son--and now he's 43 times more likely to kill a family member than an intruder!

  9. David, didn't you mean a long range precision high powered sniper rifle?
