Bye Bye AHSA.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

Back in May, it was noticed that the AHSA almost lost their domain name. And that they hadn't updated it in some time.

Well I decided to pop by for a visit today to see what was up. This is what I found:

So I wonder how all those alleged 'hunters and shooters' that supported them feel now?

you don't have to dig very far in astroturf before you hit concrete.

A big concern here, though ... are they just offline while doing a big upgrade and preparing for the final push for the November elections? I hope they're dead, but since they're basically a Democrat shill organization for Dem's who want some pro-gun cover but don't want to vote pro-gun, we may see them come roaring back with a new website and a bunch of new ads.

I wouldn't count them out quite yet.

I'm betting their dead. Their last blog post was back in Feburary.

Stephen, if they push, who will listen?

Well ... I just found Ray really persuasive personally ... ;-)

No one who really cares about the 2nd amendment will be persuaded. But there are a lot of gun owners out there who don't really follow the issues and when they see the AHSA commercial, they may consider it valid. I saw the commercials and if you didn't know better you'd think they actually cared about gun ownership.

I don't know how their results polled, but if they really failed then maybe that's why they're gone now.

They will not be missed, but something tells me thta they are not actually gone yet... After all, the big election is coming up in two years, and someone has to lay the astroturf for the anti-gun Democrats.

Still, we should probably keep tabs on their domain registration... we would not want it to... lapse... on them ;)
