Bogus anti-gun “sportsmen’s” group endorses…Obama!
This has been percolating through several of the blogs I read–a “sportsmen’s group” dedicated to the right not to own handguns has plumped for the Obamessiah. The delightfully snarktastic S. Weasel is not particularly surprised:
Well! Who would ever have thought? The American Hunters and Shooters Association has endorsed Barack Obama.
Who they? you may ask. Ignoring your appalling grammar for the moment, the AHSA is a flakey-fakey “gun-rights” organization set up solely to endorse far left entities like Barack Obama so all you beery gun-humping rednecks will think he’s a bit of okay.
It was founded in 2005 by Ray Schoenke, a Kos diarist who, in fairness, really does shoot ducks, apparently. At least, most of his conversations seem to take place in a duck blind. Schoenke has pissed away thousands on Handgun Control, Inc., Americans Coming Together and a dozen of the sleazeballingest Democrats ever to run for public office. So when Schoenke says “nonpartisan” you can be sure he’s just said a word that has four syllables.
The AHSA domain was originally registered to DCS, a Democrat new media operation, but they must have realized that didn’t look good.
Check the rest of her post on that. Others looking into the AHSA are Confederate Yankee and Say Uncle.
They really think we’re stupid. I think this is more Thomas Frankism at work. They believe rural and small-town people are gullible and will believe anything that conservatives tell them, so therefore they can put up their own bogus liberal gun rights group as an endorsement and fool them too.
Curious how, just like the Democrats, the American Hunters Who Don’t Like Icky Guns believe the Second Amendment only guarantees ownership of certain hunting rifles and shotguns. Then they give their reason for supporting Obama as his only vaguely pro-gun act, ever: his support for returning confiscated guns to Katrina victims. Apparently that was so they could resume their…alligator-hunting, or whatever sort of hunting goes on in downtown New Orleans.
HEH UPDATE: Commenter Harris likes the copy on the American Sportsmen’s Arms Are For Hugging (or whatever it’s called) website:
Heh, that site is pretty funny. I love the part saying Obama “gets it”.
“Well son, this pistol would go to you when grow up, but now Obama gets it.”

Obama’s right to bare his arms.
“american hunters and shooters association”?? this is the name a leftist would give a gun group in an attempt to put themselves in the shoes of the caricaturish conservative they’ve convinced themselves actually exists.
the name gives them away.
I don’t need the 2nd Amendment, if I ever need a gun, I’ll buy one from the illegal invaders hanging around on corners…..just saying.
The United Federation of Jeddite For Throwing Liberals Into the Ocean is not endorsing Hussein Obama.
I read that and thought of Obama’s Strike Force!
Actually,this bunch is in bed with the ‘global warming’ crowd and when they heard that the polar ice pack was melting,they thought the 2nd Amendment meant the ‘right to arm bears’
Wait till this happens to one of those idiots.
You should see how many people bought guns in Cheshire, CT after that happened.
I remember hunting for ducks with Hillary. We corkscrewed down in Bosnia with duck hunters shooting at us.
It scared the b’jesus out of me and Chelsea.
The sheep tries on the wolf’s clothing?
This group is more appropriately names the “American Sports Shooters Ecological Society”, or ASSES for short.
Armigerous #6 ROFLMAO!
Opppps! my NRA dues are do… I gotta remember these things.
Jim M
hilarious
Jim M. #9, do they take head counts at their meetings?
I’m paid up, Life Member.
Heh, that site is pretty funny. I love the part saying Obama “gets it”.
“Well son, this pistol would go to you when grow up, but now Obama gets it.”
Our dues for the NRA are due too – time to become a Life Member!
Zorro, re: “I’m paid up, Life Member.”
Elitist!
I joined the NRA over the weekend.
#13 If they do head counts, they don’t look first where you might expect.
I don’t hunt. I have hunted, but it just was not for me. I do, however, protect myself. That is why I have a gun.
Well if Jody Powell is a member they must behind Jummy Carter also.
The left and the democrats are all about deception!! Both Obama, and Clinton, are now “gun people”. Yet, both come from two of the most restrictive states in the union, when it comes to the 2cd Amendment. Neither one has ever seen a gun control law they didn’t like.
John – impossible. Their heads are “concealed carry”, if you get my drift…
lol! That’s an improvement to what I’ve been called over the weekend. Thanks.
My late Father and Uncle were life members, it’s worth it. Shooting is a great past time.
Jody Powell joined to protect himself from killer rabbits.
New Orleans, huh? Sound like that gay group that prances in feather boas, bawdy bangles, and skinny, leather thongs during Mardi Gras….”American Hunters” alright!!…Watch where you point that thing…..
Snort!
The mailman brought my 1st Freedom Magazine (NRA) and besides a wonderful tribute to Charlton Heston there was a great article by Wayne LaPierre on page 8 titled Barack Obama”s Slippery Oratory. The closing sentences say it all “Obama’s alleged support of the Second Amendment is utterly cynical and false. Barack Obama is not for the Right To Keep and Bear Arms; he’s out to destroy it.” I highly recommend it for anyone wanting some great ammunition on him or “she who must not be named” go on over to http://www.nraila.org , http://www.nranews.com , and http://www.nra.org .
Remember gun control is using both hands and hitting only what you aim at.
Hunters and sportsmen are the LEAST RELIABLE 2nd Amendment supporters. They have no clue what the 2nd A. was meant for. Steer clear of the FUDDS. They will sell true gun owners down the river.
Just wait. We have yet to hear from the “Really Manly National Council for Kickin’ the Asses of All Them Dang Furriners” (the RMNCKATDF). Word is that it’s about to endorse Obama.
Cicero, RMNCKATDF is with Hillary all the way.
Say it ain’t so, Boomer.
I hope Obama shoots better than he bowls.
Why does this sound like something the Code Pinkos would say?
Isn’t this like having a car club that is against having cars?
Desert Eagle .50AE
test to see if this works
Guess they don’t like to shoot animals. It does do a number on the pelts. They must be the guys that like to use clubs on harp seals. Guns bad, clubs good.

brooklyn red,
zorro isn’t an elitist, I am. So there. lol
I guess conservatives should form the American Association Against Global Warming to endorse our candidates then.
Hey they are not Democrats, they have a link to the Republicans for Environmental Protection on their link section to show how right they are. I found it interesting they decided not to have a link to the NRA there. Well maybe not because they believe Is NRA Selling Us Out? Yes I believe they are really for Hunters and Shooter rights after looking at that website.
I remember reading about the American Hunters and Shooters Association. It is, indeed, a cynical attempt by some anti-gun man to appear pro-gun.
Well, I’m not buying it. I’m still an NRA member. My gun safe is full. I probably need to start stocking my ammo locker some more, though.
Put your membership in the NRA to protect your rights. They get involved in local, state, and national gun control laws and have been very successful. The thing I have never understood is why so many police chiefs across the country support these anti-gun groups. Most rank-and-file officers support the right to carry. There is nothing better than seeing the armed citizen taking care of the problem before you get to the scene.
Life member and both sons are life members. Not trying to be elistist as stated above. Just trying to protect our rights.
NRA Life / Endowment member , California Rifle and Pistol Assn Life Member , Cast Bullet Assn member here !
I dont agree with everything they do or say but these organizations are working to secure our vital Second Ammendment rights.
Both Clinton & Obama would claim to hand roll their own ammo if it would get em’ votes in “Deer Hunter” PA., where “Gun Control” means a steady aim.
Put em’ in power & they’ll try to turn this country into a flock of unarmed sheep!
Glad to see the comments here. We who are concerned with the Right to Keep and Bear Arms NEED to stand together. Do you, and the people you know belong to any of the Rights groups? If not we could use you now.
AZCDL Find one in your state.
Gun Owners of America
Keep and Bear Arms of America,
Open Carry
And of course the NRA
And many more. Join any of these groups to keep up on the latest news on the attacks on your rights as a free people.
Yes indeed, thank you tre.
Just picked up the fourth handgun of my household this week. There’s another one on the want list. Great way to spend a stimulus check
Well, I went to college, so I’ve been washed, dried and folded in all the liberal BS you can think of.
