. . . It seems the self-professed "alternative" firearms rights organization, the anti-gun American Hunters and Shooters Association, was concerned about firearms owners and enthusiasts hearing and witnessing their true anti-gun agenda. AHSA crashed the NRA Annual Meeting in St. Louis, Mo., and held a press conference in support of New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and his "Mayors Against Illegal Guns" coalition. NRA News reporter Ginny Simone, a credentialed member of the media, was refused admittance to the press conference despite her press credentials. Watch a video clip that shows Simone being denied access by AHSA president Ray Schoenke and AHSA executive director Robert Ricker. Footage is courtesy of NRA News. It appears AHSA has issues with the first amendment, too.
Control freaks.
Bloomberg needs to be drummed out of Republican circles; he’s an anti-gun nazi. IMO

He’s a POS ‘Rat that couldn’t run as a ‘Rat so he switched parties so he could buy an election. He is a scumbag of the highest order.
Why don’t or can’t (???) the Republican Party kick Bloomberg out?
Typical Communist/Brownshirt Bund tactics.
Raw Fascism! Missing only is the crash of jackboots.
Reminds me of a KGB misinformation unit.

Bloomberge Is Not a Republican.He became a Republican because that was the only way he could become mayor in liberal,democrat New York.
Link to video and article?
The thing is is that Dimrats in NY are usually further to the left than Ralph Nader. Some are open Leninists. Therefore, a “Normal” democrat in the rest of the nation is a Republican in NYC.
It’s clear who ASHA is and what they are about, is it not?
Because either they are gutless wonders, or it's more than just perception that they and the rats cannot be easily distinguished.
Buncha ASHA-holes.
Glad I’m not the only person who is wary of him.

Slight divergence- I often hear of “press credentials” and this article refers to a properly credentialed reporter.
Under whose authority are these credentials issued?
In this webbified world, who is not empowered to act as reporter?
Aside from that, apparently the new “gun rights” group has a trusted cadre of reporters it will give conferences to.
