AHSA 2.0: A New Beginning?

Seems the AHSA is trying to revamp its image big-time:

From Ray Schoenke on the AHSA Facebook Page):

"Harman - AHSA will be updating it's website very soon, and there will be measurable changes. Much of the previous language was consultant based. Those language, and firearm consultants are no longer with us."
Seems all the work put into showing the true face of their 'consultants' (ie board members like John Rosenthal et al) were successful. Now we get to have fun seeing what direction they take w/ it.

If they read this, I'll be frank. It will take a lot of work from them to even make me trust them a hair. It wasn't that long ago that Ray Schoenke stated that he opposed Assault Weapons before condemning Holder for supporting a new AWB. Was that the statement of a 'consultant' or was it his belief? It wasn't that long ago that they endorsed Obama, a politician w/ a long history of anti-gun legislation and statements under his belt yet now they oppose the issues that he has held since the beginning.

OK Ray/AHSA. I'm a fairly easy-going person. Willing to live and let live for the most part. What are you going to do, actions wise not words (we all know what those are worth) to convince me you're sincere?

"Those language"?

I think they need a grammar consultant.

Actually, you can polish a turd. It's been done a fair number of times.

Why here is some polished dino turds for sale online!

I will be perfectly and absolutely honest - There is not a gorramed thing that the AHSA or Ray Schoenke himself can do to even slightly convince me to trust either the organization or the man. They have not done a single thing to help the people mentioned in their organization's name, and, in fact, they were instrumental in helping our glorious President get elected.

"Changing their tune" now is just another form of their perpetual lying and misdirection, and should continue to be treated as such.

Grammar?

Those refers to "language and firearm consultants".

Now - what we need think about is....

What has Obama, as president done AT ALL to affect gun rights?

ANS: NOTHING

Ok Mr. 'Anonymous', that's fair enough. However is it due to a lack of desire or opportunity? His chosen cabinet states it's only a matter of 'when', not 'if' that more gun control will be pushed.

Of course that's not even the main point that's being avoided. Ray Schoenke stated opposition to assault weapons at one point but now states support. Was that the statements of 'consultants' or his opinion? If it was his opinion, what caused it to change?

What is the AHSA going to do fix its image as a gun control group in camoflage?

I'm willing to bet that they back down on the .50 caliber ban.
