NY Times Article on Black Rifles

By Jim on June 4th, 2007

Excellent piece in the NY Times…yes…the NY Times! I couldn’t believe it either. It was mostly fair and accurate. That has to have been a fluke. ;)

It covers the Zumbo controversy plus the rise in popularity of black rifles. Although I don’t own one at this point, it’s nice to see them getting some positive press coverage instead of the usual “OMFG an evil assault weapon” drivel that some media outlets always spew.

I noted with amusement that the photo shows Zumbo shooting the zebra-pink black rifle of Ted Nugent’s wife. Priceless!
