Confederate Yankee notes some of the leaders of th American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA), the supposedly pro-gun group with just endorsed Barack Obama as a gun friendly candidate, beginning with AHSA (and Kos diarist) president Ray Schoenke:

Schoenke, a failed Democratic candidate for governor of Maryland, has donated thousands to Handgun Control, Inc, a virulent anti-gun organization that was the forerunner of Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence. He has donated tens of thousands more to anti-gun Democratic politicians including Ted Kennedy.

AHSA executive director Robert Ricker has testified as a paid witness against the gun industry and consults for several anti-gun groups, and John Rosenthal, President of the AHSA Foundation, is a former member of Sarah Brady’s Handgun Control, Inc, and is leader of Stop Handgun Violence, a Massachusetts anti-gun group that has contributed to that state’s intolerant anti-gun guns.

Kevin at the Smallest Minority wasn’t fast enough.

And Jay at the Right to Bear Arms has more.
