First time we’ve heard from the American Hunters and Shooters Association for a while. Seems Ray (who may or may not be a member) is telling the big O that an assault weapons ban is bad policy. And: This type of legislation will only disillusion the millions of law-abiding gun owners who voted for Barack […]

Ray Schoenke of the American Hunters and Shooters Association writes that the big, bad NRA took Cooper down: Today, on behalf of the American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA), I condemned the actions by the NRA and its cronies forcing Dan Cooper out. The gun lobby’s attempt to destroy a good man and small business […]

Looks like The American Shooters & Hunters Association has removed any doubt that they are not a complete sham of an organization.

David Hardy has more on our favorite anti-gun, pro-gun group: Read somewhere they started with half a million in the bank. Pretty hard to find that, when you have no members at the outset.

I mentioned it here. David has more on them, including: AHSA’s president, John Rosenthal, founded “Stop Handgun Violence,” and is as big a gungrabber as you will find. Their Board of Directors include honchos from Crime Guns Solutions, ex-BATF careerists who worked to give ammo to the gun maker lawsuits. CGS exec Gerald Nunziato had […]

Remember the astroturf group the American Hunters and Shooters Association? We knew they were bought and paid for by the Democrat party. But now we know: The Obama campaign paid for Schoenke’s travel to 40 events in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and Colorado to address pro-gun voters.

AHSA goes poof.

Kagan says gun cases are settled law. That sounds familiar. And we know the Wise Latina came down against civil rights. ETA: Remember AHSA’s endorsement?

A DKOS diarist on the American Hunters and Shooters Association: So when I saw a pro-firearms group that was based on the Democratic side of the fence, I started jumping for joy. Finally, a group that supports the other issues alongside gun rights that I can get behind. Oh happy day! And then I started […]

Guy writes letter blasting NRA because being a pro gun group they might oppose someone who is anti-gun. Guy turns out to be a Democrat shill. More here and here.

The American Hunters and Shooters Association stops pretending and gets their hackery on.

The American Hunters and Shooters Association, that anti-gun astroturf group that holds itself out as pro-gun to woo gullible Democrats, is looking to change its image.

Curt on The American Hunters and Shooters Association: In other words, they’re abandoning their support for individual gun control proposals (actually, more accurately, they are leaving the support of individual proposals to their sister organizations, the VPC, Brady Campaign, et al…) and are focusing on endorsing and getting anti-gun candidates elected into office. Actually, it’s […]

The American Hunters and Shooters Association has a facebook page that says they oppose bans on 50 calibers. Which is funny because their webpage says otherwise. A little birdy told me that a rep from AHSA will be on Gun Nuts Radio at some point. I’ll be grabbing myself a bag of popcorn and an […]

The current trend from the anti-gunner and the press (but I repeat myself) is that the gun lobby is a paper tiger, guns don’t matter, and take that you bitter clingy gun nuts. This is all based on Obama’s election. Based on this one election, they cry that we don’t matter politically and politicians don’t […]

Looks like there’s quite a battle between American Hunters and Shooters Association and some folks over their Wikipedia page. I guess AHSA didn’t like the page pointing out the truth about AHSA being an anti-gun group.

The AHSA and Brady Campaign in a seemingly coordinated message have pressers on the endorsement. The sound like Gun Owners of America. Apparently, Bob Barr thought he had a shot since he’s a board member. Now, the NRA has had issues with McCain. But the endorsement in this case seems to be he’s not Obama, […]

Judging by my referral logs, it appears that there’s an awful lot of Googling for the American Hunters and Shooters Association. And they find little ol’ me. Mission accomplished. Update: The AHSA: The Brady Campaign in a Flannel Shirt. Comparing AHSA’s positions to the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership: Basically, there is NO DIFFERENCE […]

ACK: Host Senator Jim Kyle has just announced that Democratic Leadership Council Chair Harold Ford will join his “Nashville Conversation” patterned on the DLC’s “National Conversation”, the latest of which was held in Nashville. If any of you go, you can ask them about the DLC’s funding, financing and setting up the anti-gun American Hunters […]

News services publishing press releases from the American Hunters and Shooters Association? Looks like it.

Over at NewWest, The American Hunters And Shooters Association is trying to deny that it is a false flag front for anti-gunners trying to appear pro-gun. And that they are shills for the Democrat Leadership Council. Seems they blame John Lott. John Lott is not the one who put the piece of that puzzle together. […]

So, as mentioned before, the American Hunters And Shooters Association has endorsed Obama (no surprise since that is what it was set up to do). So, AHSA shill Ray Schoenke takes to the radio to tell everyone why hunters and shooters (who those crazy AHSA directors like to call whackos and extremists) should not fear […]

The American Hunters and Shooters Association doesn’t seem to think that banning guns is, err, banning guns. And that such bans are reasonable.

The American Hunters And Shooters Association once claimed 25,000 members. They seem to have lost some: Pushed hard by skeptical writers in the audience, Schoenke declined to say how many members AHSA had, but said that more than a thousand members paid membership dues in the past year.

Mr. Eblen penned an article singing the praises of the American Hunters And Shooters Association. Apparently, people let him know that this group was a sham. And he responds with this tripe: As expected, I heard an earful about my column last week on a new gun group that opposes the National Rifle Association’s hard-line […]

Ray Schoenke of the American Hunters and Shooters Association is over at the HuffPo criticizing, and I am not making this up, John McCain over his pro-gun street cred. And being Schoenke, he pulls a a big whopper: We know most gun owners do support background checks according to a survey of gun owners conducted […]

So, from my referral logs last night, I learn that the anti-gun Democratic Leadership Council’s shill group diguised as a pro-gun group American Hunters And Shooters Association has endorsed Barack Machine Wash Warm Obama for President. Gasp! Swoon! Of course they did. That’s what they were created for. Update: A reminder from Sebastian: Let’s remember […]

Bob Ricker of the American Hunters and Shooters Association is commenting on blogs. Says he of the American Hunters and Shooters Association‘s target audience: I think it should be clear from my comments here and on other “whacko” blogs that AHSA is reaching out to a more educated, sophisticated and straight thinking hunter and shooter […]

Ray Schoenke, of the American Hunters and Shooters Association, has decided to abandon all pretense of actually being a pro-gun group. Seems to be screaming that they want to be relevant. I’d address the screed but Sebastian already has: Wait, am I reading something by AHSA or the Brady Campaign? Hard to tell.

You see, they are the righteous pro-hunting, pro-conservation, pro-gun group! The NRA betrays hunters at every turn. At least, that’s what they tell us. Behold Ray Schoenke’s screed at The Daily Kos. It’s so disjointed I can’t really fathom the point other than tooting the AHSA’s horn. Which is amazing, since they have no significant […]
