The right to keep and bear arms, occasional attempts at satire, frequent recourse to sarcasm, and anything else I can think of. Oh yeah, and pipe smoking. Sometimes H.P. Lovecraft. And obscure Monty Python references when applicable.

AHSA getting false press

by alandp on Mon 10 Jul 2006 05:24 AM CDT | Permanent Link | Cosmos

The American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA), a new pro-gun membership organization, announced plans for an aggressive membership campaign designed to restore pride in America's hunting and shooting heritage at the Outdoor Writers Association of America conference.

The new organization is dedicated to protecting the second amendment and providing a fresh voice that more accurately reflects the view of the majority of American sportsmen.

Emphasis mine. The same article has appeared this morning in three different Ohio newspapers, apparently all owned by the same company: Newspaper Network of Central Ohio.

The Advocate
The Zanesville Recorder
Coshocton Tribune

Time to start writing letters.

This is a quote from their website:

Moreover, an overwhelming majority of hunters support proposals like background checks to purchase guns, keeping military style assault weapons off our streets and the elimination of cop killer bullets.

Emphasis is mine. The jargon is a dead give-away doncha think?

In Search of the Second Amendment

The TRUE story of the American right to arms is told by some of the greatest names in American constitutional law -- professors at Yale, UCLA, Fordham, George Washington University, George Mason University, and other institutions, as well as by lifelong scholars of the Second Amendment, such as Steve Halbrook, Dave Kopel, and Don Kates.
