Their domain expired on April 25th and, as of the 6th of May, has not been renewed.
Their FaceBook page and Twitter feed hasn't had an update from them since February 20th.
I guess real hunters and shooters don't care for organizations whose goals are 'complementary' to the Brady Campaign.
Update: The site's back up but still no actual activity.

It was obvious from the start that Ray Schoenke was no more than a partisan hack. I'm not at all surprised that the AHSA is no more. I wonder what their peak membership was. Do you think it topped more than a dozen?
It's hard to tell. At their peak around '07/'08, I might give them a few hundred.
They tried to do a PR turnaround after Rosenthal left but that just make them a pure shill group that served no purpose after the election.
Craaaaaaappppp!
AHSA contacted me about 2 months ago after I inquired why they didn't file a brief in favor of McDonald. They informed me that they indeed had filed a brief but that it was super-secret, not public knowledge and would only send me a copy AFTER McDonald has been decided.
Guess I'll never see that amicus.
heh
Wow--I just noticed that Schoenke hasn't written for the Daily Kos since last July, or HuffPo since 2008.
I guess it ain't his writing career that has kept him too busy for AHSA.
The 'super-secret' brief. I'ld forgotten about that.
Where did they go? Does not really matter - the person they wanted got elected to be President, so their usefulness has expired.
If there was ever a better way to prove us right over the allegations that they were nothing more than a false-flag organization, it is not coming to me at the moment...
Well if there domain expired why not take it over? Wouldn't be the first time.
If you really want to near-vomit at the waste of a good domain name, look at gunguys.com. Don't say I didn't warn you. All anti-gun BS over there, and surprise, surprise, they don't allow comments to the posts.
the expired domain name business is pretty sketchy, but GoDaddy has a $16 deal that might let you snap it up.
Typically, this will just give you access to bid on the domain, but I manages to score a choice domain once when one I was interested expired. I think the domain was sold at auction but the buyer did not pay and it was dropped. Godaddy snapped it up for me. I don't know how common this is, but huntersandshooters.org might make a pretty good blog if you wanted to gamble $16
Speaking of which, I own gunarmy.com too, and the domain is surplus to my needs. If anyone wants it, I'd be happy to do the transfer for free. You would have to pay for an additional year, but that's like $8/year
