Gunnies for Gun Control?


The American Hunters and Shooters Association web site sure has been making the rounds. At first glance, it looks pretty convincing; guys in camo and blaze orange, fathers teaching sons how to shoot, ducks fleeing for their lives. But if you read the site before sending them your $25, you'll notice something strange:

AHSA believes the FBI should be given reasonable access to National Instant Check System (NICS) purchase records to insure terrorists and other prohibited individuals do not have access to firearms. . .

AHSA supports requiring all transfers of firearms at gun shows to be subject to all federal, state and local laws and regulations currently applicable to federally licensed firearm dealers including the conducting of the instant background check on purchasers. . .

AHSA supports legislative efforts to regulate .50 caliber BMG sniper rifles in the same manner as machine guns are regulated under the provisions of the National Firearms Act of 1934. . .

So, these so-called "hunters" and "shooters" support gun registration, banning .50 caliber rifles, and forcing private citizens to get government permission before they sell a gun. If I didn't know any better, I'd think this was a front group for the gun grabbers.

"The modern .50 caliber BMG rifle is one of the most powerful and destructive weapons legally available to civilians in the United States."

They say that like it's a bad thing!

Their list of officers reads like a "who's who" of gun control practitioners.

The only thing missing from their site is a photo of John Kerry "crawling on his belly" in pursuit of Bambi.
