American Hunters and Shooters: Another faux gun group bites the dust?

[rtroha]

I remember some pretty good debates about this group several years ago. Buckeye Firearms Association has an article about the apparent lack of activity from this group for most of this year.

Without explanation or fanfare, all ASHA activity appears to have ceased last February. (Not to be any less transparent for what they were, the last post on both websites was a regurgitation of a Valentines Day 2010 Chicago Tribune op-ed praising Obama for being - you guessed it - pro-gun.[12])

No additional posts have been made to ASHA website, Twitter or FaceBook page since then. What's more, the AHSA website, www.huntersandshooters.org, has been offline since early October, and emails to the organization bounce.

What a Shame. Is it OK to gloat?

OK or not, I feel all warm and fuzzy inside now that I've heard this.

Haha, good ridance.

Does a misinformation campaign need to have a working website/email to be effective? As long as the organization can support things it claims are "pro-gun" in the media, then it's performing its function.

It's not high road to kick your enemy when he's down. But, please, after you. I insist.

IIRC the AHSA was created as an "alternative" to the NRA (I thought that's what Gun Owners of America and the 2nd Amedment Foundation were). Another one is "Gun Guys". The Commies were notorious for creating "front" organizations with reasonable sounding names and platforms that carefully hid the fact they were Communist dominated.
