AHSA Supports Anti-Gun Politicians
You may have received donation requests from an organization called the American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA). Beware. The American Hunters and Shooters Association entices hunters and sportsmen into contributing money by claiming to share their interests. From the group’s name, you’d think its primary purpose is to promote shooting and hunting. Wrong. The AHSA has supported anti-gun lawsuits and gun bans. AHSA’s leaders have given money to the Brady Campaign and to anti-gun politicians like John Kerry, Al Gore, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, and Ted Kennedy. We’re not surprised that the AHSA refuses to refund any donations.
The NSSF (Nat’l Shooting Sports Foundation) and NRA believe that the AHSA is an anti-gun front group. The NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action states that the “AHSA would be more correctly called the ‘American Association for the Protection of Anti-Gun Politicians’.” Notably, in its “friend of the court” brief in the D.C. vs. Heller case, the AHSA states: “The argument advanced by [AHSA] would in no way prevent the D.C. Council from enacting reasonable regulations…. the District’s Gun Law was a laudable effort.” No organization that truly supported individual Second Amendment rights would make such a statement in an important legal proceeding.
