Their new graphic: Heh.

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 […]

Bitter wonders if our favorite fake pro-gun group is even trying anymore. I wondered if they even tried in the past.

If you believe they’re an alternative to the NRA, you’ve been fooled. In other news, not only is John Rosenthal (President of American Hunters and Shooters Ass.) disingenuous, he’s also a felon: During the show a reporter, Steve Bailey of the Boston Globe, explained how he and Rosenthal had attended a gun show in New […]

Over at NSH, I posted this bit about Mayors Against Guns and the Joyce Foundation. In the comment section, a guy claiming to be Bob Ricker (Executive Director of the American Hunters and Shooters Association) says: I’m the Executive Director of the American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA)and AHSA has neither fequested nor received funding […]

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 […]

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.

You remember all that time before the election when the press was trying to convince us bitter clingers that Obama didn’t want to take our guns? And how the DLC set up that fake pro-gun group to further alleviate our fears? Well, unsurprisingly, they didn’t mean it. Here they are now: The Paper of Making […]

False flag American Hunters and Shooters Association held an event: Yes, you read that right — a lengthy newspaper article reporting on an America Hunters and Shooters Association event which attracted “over a dozen” people. Great showing there, guys. I can see that there are lots of sportsmen willing to support Obama. Meanwhile, TP points […]

We’ve noted how Barack 55378008 Obama is running hard and fast from his anti-gun past quite a few times. If you’re the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Ownership, that’s gotta sting. I mean, here’s a candidate who has supported every gun control pipe dream you could offer and once the spotlight is on him he […]

Greg wonders if CBS stole borrowed heavily from a Brady Campaign graphic. Meanwhile, CBS is the latest media outlet to cover for Obama’s record on gun rights. CBS notes Obama’s endorsement by the American Hunters And Shooters Association but doesn’t bother to do three seconds of Googling to determine that they are a false flag […]

I said before that it will soon be stated as fact that the NRA was responsible for Zumbo’s loss of his job for saying something stupid even though that is not the case. What really happened is that a few message boards and blogs noticed it and left comments, sent letters, etc. and that resulted […]

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Ownership filed complaints with the Federal Election Commission on Wednesday, Nov. 1, asking the FEC to investigate whether the National Rifle Association and Gun Owners of America are in violation of Federal Election Commission regulations and Federal Election Campaign Laws. The Second Amendment Foundation does the same thing to […]

Minutes ago, I talked about the divide between hunters and shooters. Maybe this will wake the hunters up: Installing more metal detectors and locking school doors is all well and good, but it’s not enough. Unless our leaders also examine the hunting culture in rural America—where most mass school shootings take place—and its role in […]

Part of the reason why Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam’s participation in Mayors Against Guns is important is because of the group’s ties. The group received $175K from The Joyce Foundation. The Joyce Foundation has funded plenty of anti-gun groups, even the hysterical ones. Here’s a round up of who they have funded and it reads […]

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.

I’d like to bid farewell to a worthy opponent. But they weren’t. Anti-gun astroturf false flag operation The American Hunters and Shooters Association goes poof.

Sebastian reports that former American Hunters and Shooters Association Executive Director and former NRA attorney turned gun controller Bob Ricker has passed away. Bob was on the opposite team and the topic of quite a few posts around here. My condolences to his loved ones.

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

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 […]

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 […]

Paul Valone on our favorite false flag operation: The American Hunters and Shooters Association. It is composed of neither hunters nor shooters. And isn’t even an association.

Paul Helmke seems to have an odd definition of win: We Win, They Lose. Now, Let’s Get To Work That’s a rather odd way to look at it, since NRA endorsed candidates won more than non-NRA endorsed candidates. And, of course, the presidential campaign of Barack Obama went so far out of its way to […]

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.

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 […]

Delaware State Police stopped a person from buying a gun because she was old and a woman. Funny because the Executive Director of the American Hunters and Shooters Association, Bob Ricker, has said that every young female who purchases guns legally should raise a red flag as being a criminal subject to federal prosecution and […]

The anti-gun DLC-funded American Hunters and Shooters Association is actually sounding like a pro-gun group: We’re opposed to reinstating the semi-auto assault weapons ban. There’s a lot of confusion about this legislation. Most people believe an assault weapon is a full-auto. Those fully automatic guns are already regulated. The best way to deal with this […]

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 […]

Sebastian notes the supposed NRA member who is supporting Obama is a fool. Yes, he is, if he thinks Obama is not a threat to gun rights. On other issues, you may like them but if you value gun rights, Obama is opposed to them. More here: You know, I’d love to believe that Obama […]
