Beware of Brady's in camo...

... by which I mean anti-gun organizations pretending to be pro-gun organizations.  In this case I'm talking specifically about www.huntersandshooters.com.  They've got a nice website that quotes from the 2nd Amendment and claims to favor "protecting our homes, preserving our liberties, hunting, and sport shooting".  But when you start to dig a little deeper, it seems they are all about regulation:

What they sayHow I translate it
AHSA will promote modern, scientific and friendly range development practices that ensure indoor and outdoor shooting ranges are safe for shooters, their families and the environment.AHSA will seek to pass regulations concerning the environmental impact of lead buildup, noise pollution, stray bullets, and anything else they can think of that will make a shooting range more difficult and expensive to build.
AHSA will support legislation designed to prevent the unethical hunting of animals in enclosures or �pens�, and will actively support measures that promote the �fair chase� ethic.AHSA will support additional onerous hunting regulations that will ban hunting based on the presence of fences that may have nothing to do with the animals being hunted, and anything else they can think of to add additional regulatory burdens to the sport.
AHSA will work closely with the congressional and state sportsmen�s caucuses to ensure that current and future generations of Americans will have the right and opportunity to hunt and fish by serving as the link to Congress and various state legislatures.AHSA will pretend to represent gun owners, in order to betray them at the most opportune time.  They will discourage direct contact between the citizenry and the legislators in order to minimize the chances of their betrayal being discovered.
And, the AHSA will join with and support other pro-hunting, sport shooting and conservation organizations that have similar views and stated objectives.AHSA will cooperate with Americans for Gun Safety, a similar front group.
Public service announcements promoting the use of simple and effective firearm safety devices and safe firearm storage techniques;AHSA will promote trigger locks and gun safes, whether or not firearm accidents represent a significant safety issue.
The passage of laws that penalize irresponsible gun owners that allow children unauthorized access to firearms;AHSA will advocate for mandatory trigger locks, with criminal penalties for not using them.
Manufacturing standards for firearms to insure our �tools� are safe.Note the scare quotes.  Their writer slipped up and let his true feelings through for a moment.  Can there be any doubt that this means they will oppose liability protection, and/or file lawsuits about so-called "defective" firearms, while promulgating so-called "standards" that merely require additional, expensive, unnecessary "safety" devices?
Mandatory hunter safety training.Training is not a bad thing.  Mandatory training is an infringement.
Standardized mandatory and certified/qualified training for all persons receiving a permit to carry concealed firearms with reasonable requirements for recertification. ... making carrying a concealed firearm more expensive, more time consuming, and, no doubt, more difficult. 
 
Make no mistake, we have existing pro-gun organizations working very effectively on training, safety, hunting and range regulations, and so on.  We don't need another organization doing this... especially if we can't trust it.

And we can't trust these folks.  How do I know?

Their President is Ray Schoenke, who seems clean at first glance... but in 1996 his firm donated $1000 to the campaign of Torricelli (D-NJ).  New Jersey is a gun control paradise and Torricelli has voted consistently in favor of gun control.  Ray himself ran for the Democratic nomination for governor of Maryland.

Their executive director is Bob Ricker, infamous traitor to the gun industry.  He used to lobby for us, before he decided that the role of Brutus was better suited to his temperment.  He's provided testimony in prominent firearms-liability lawsuits -- testimony against the gun industry.

Their president is John E Rosenthal, who has worked with the "gun violence prevention efforts" of Boston, Massachussetts.  He co-founded the gun-control group "Stop Handgun Violence", and suggests that the gun laws of Massachusetts should be the model for the country.  He's spent a great deal of money on anti-gun advertising, including a national billboard campaign in collaboration with Handgun Control president Michael Barnes.

Their co-chairman is Jody Powell, Washington lawyer, whose experience includes service in the administration of Jimmy Carter, and whose tenure as White House press secretary immediately preceded that of James Brady.  He lobbied against the impeachment of Bill Clinton.  He doesn't seem attached to the truth; "now [the truth] almost doesn't seem to get attention paid to it anymore." 

Their board of directors includes Joseph J Vince, whose career in law enforcement includes time as an ATF "special agent" whose experience includes undercover work in the "intelligence division".  That means infiltration, folks.  And here he is heading up a supposedly pro-gun organization... well, never mind the tinfoil hat theories, here's some good juicy stuff.  He's also the president of Crime Gun Solutions, a gun control consultency business that has done work for the infamous Violence Policy Center.  He describes America as "absolutely the best place for a terrorist to equip himself with guns" and claims assault weapons are more powerful than rocket launchers in a 60-minutes hit piece. 
 
The credit for this story goes to reader Jay, who wrote in with a tip about them, saying he was suspicious of their real stance.  He did some research, picked up on the Bob Ricker connection, and wrote them email asking which firearms regulation measures their group opposes, since they support the "assault weapons ban" and bans on "cop-killer bullets".  No response to the email yet, but I'll pass one along if he gets one.

Thanks, Jay.  These folks are definitely not on our side.

UPDATE: More details on DHS, a Democratic consultancy that owns the domain name, from Countertop Chronicles; and more on Crime Gun Solutions from The War On Guns.

UPDATE: GunLawNews has more details on the organization, particularly the financial angle.

UPDATE: John Lott has still more.

UPDATE: The War on Guns was there first... but he used the Mainstream Media to get the message out, so his column will be several months in the pipeline.

UPDATE: Welcome, Outdoors Unlimited visitors.  That's an impressive amount of traffic for one tiny-print link in the middle of a very busy page.  I hope you'll feel free to look around the blog, and bookmark it to come back later; I cover firearms and liberty issues regularly, with an emphasis on ways that individuals can make a difference in the political process.  You may also be interested in my coverage of the Seegars and Parker cases, one or both of which may well put the 2nd Amendment before the Supreme Court in the near future.  I've also asked for input on other cases that need that kind of coverage.  Please feel free to leave a comment or two pointing out what you think I should be covering.

UPDATE: The NRA's Digger's Corner had this story on July 28th.

UPDATE: The group has changed their domain registration to conceal their connection to the Democratic consultant group.
