In our own coverage at the time, we wrote that while the cat was out of the bag on the Democratic Leadership Council's (DLC) phony pro gun group, it was clear that the mainstream "news" media would work to perpetuate the image that AHSA is a pro-gun rights group. Indeed they have. And despite the fact that the leadership of AHSA has a long history of spitting on the Second Amendment, some gun owners have been fooled.

According to the NRA-ILA, AHSA president Ray Schoenke has a long history of giving political donations to some of the nations most anti-gun politicians, including Al Gore, John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, Bill Clinton, Dianne Feinstein, and Ted Kennedy. In 2000, Schoenke donated $5,000 to Handgun Control, Inc. (now the Brady Campaign) and the Ray and Holly Schoenke Foundation also made donations to the Brady Campaign. AHSA Board member John Rosenthal remains the leader of Stop Handgun Violence, a Massachusetts anti-gun group. And one of the leading organizers of AHSA is Bob Ricker, who has served as a paid expert witness against gun manufacturers in a number of reckless lawsuits. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Last month, the Fake Pro-Gun Group found a match made in heaven in Barack Obama, the Fake Pro-Gun Candidate, and endorsed his candidacy for President.
