Fire Mission - type this up, nice and simple, decent sized type, centered on a page, and put it on bulletin boards at your club, your favorite gun stores, ranges, taxidermy or meat packing places - whatever.
The American Hunters
and Shooters Association
(AHSA)
is a front for
anti-gun organizations
You may get email or postal mail
from this group.
Please do not donate to them
or support them politically.
Their leadership has, in the past, actively supported
banning everything from .22 Short single shots through
your deer rifle or duck gun.
Do not support those who are against gun owners.
