shaman,

Actually, Zumbo wasn't the shooting editor for Outdoor Life. He was the hunting editor. At the time the shooting editor was Jim Carmichel. This may seem irrelevant but isn't.

As has been pointed out previously in this thread, a lot of hunters are just as ignorant about the Second Amendment as anti-gunners. Zumbo was what's often been called a Fudd, a hunter who believes nobody will ever take his hunting guns away. But often Fudds are from states with repressive gun laws, so think registering or banning certain guns is normal, and Zumbo was born and raised in upstate New York. This certainly doesn't excuse his blog, but it does explain some of his ignorance.
