Colorado - -(AmmoLand.com)- Mr. Darnell, the host of a syndicated outdoors television show “God’s Great Outdoors“ and author of a weekly outdoor column, has joined the ranks of noted quisling Jim Zumbo by calling the manufacture of AR-15 sporting rifles a “big mistake.”

Darnell’s column, which called the production of AR-15 style rifles a “big mistake,” was scrubbed from his website, shortly after it was published.

Darnell went on to claim that the production of AR-15 style rifles for hunting only encourages and angers the anti-gunners.

He concludes that bolt action rifles should be used for hunting because they’re safe and politically correct.

By conceding that the very possession of AR-15 style rifles is a mistake, Darnell gives the anti-gunners a foothold to justify banning other types of firearms.

Using his own argument, Mr. Darnell’s precious bolt action hunting rifles would be reclassified by the anti-gunners as high-powered sniper rifles, and therefore are a menace to society.

Darnell’s argument is as foolish and naive as it is dangerous.  Gun rights activists must not give a single inch to the anti-gun liberals in Washington D.C. and in state capitals across the country.

If we give them an inch, they will take a yard, and pretty soon we’ve been pushed a mile.
