American Hunters and Shooters Association

Before anyone says it yes I know the AHSA is a gun grabbers friend. They don't understand that the 2nd is not about hunting and sports.

I’m so glad I live in Idaho.

Maryland-based American Hunters and Shooters Association, which says the National Rifle Association backs candidates for partisan reasons.

NRA endorses two Democratic candidates that I'm eligible to vote for. Voted for neither. One has no Republican opposition and will win walking away, the other is running for State Treasuser, so I frankly don't care what his positions are on firearms. And he's a cokehead.

that "American Hunters" group is nothing more than a Rat backed group trying to take members away from the NRA....the NRA btw support both Rats and Pubs and they certainly lean Pub, but if you check out their site, they support many rats....so no, they are not partisan....

All I know about Minnick is that he has millions apparently to spend on advertiseing and not once in his commercials does he admit that he is a Rat...someone should ask him if he supports the abomination and would he support ANY kind of gun control, fairness doctrine,etc....

WE CANNOT ELECT ANYMORE RATS....THEY ARE LIKE SHEEPLE IN THEIR PARTY AND THEY SWING THE WAY THE PARTY SWINGS AND WITH hussein THE PARTY IF A FASCIST ANTI-AMERICAN GROUP....

If it isn’t the NRA or Gun Owners of America, I’m suspicious.

Minnick is a liberal who casts his lot with AHSA (American Hunters and Shooters Association). Just check the "Issues->Gun Rights" link on the website (after noting the president is an Obama boot licker). They was "automatic .50 BMG sniper rifles" banned because they are the choice weapon of criminals, gangs and terrorists. No matter that these claims are not backed up with any evidence. They want the FBI to keep the NICS database...in violation of the law..for "research". They love the "Brady checks" and want ATF to have even more power.

It doesn't surprise me to see the liberal infested Boise area tipping the balance in favor of Minnick. I've done my part by making contributions to Sali's campaign.

I believe after what I’ve seen of the democRat party lately, I’d go with the GOP on every question. Even with people like Stevens (R-AK), the odds are better.

Bill Sali is one of the most responsive public servants I have ever dealt with . I donated early and again after he voted twice against the bailout . He is a strong supporter of our military and veterans . The pathetic opposition is even trying to hang the 23% sales tax rap on him because he is willing to debate the fair tax .

Five guns? Seven guns?

What a couple of flyweights!

[Billthedrill]

Neither one owns enough firearms to be taken seriously locally. Both know what noises to make. Minnick intends to go to DC, support every half-baked Democrat idea except those, see them passed anyway, and come back shaking his head - "can't do anything about it, sorry." Couldn't be a lot more transparent about it.

It's closer than it ought to be but I'm still calling it for Sali. But I've been wrong before.

Sheesh, I could win every elective office in the state and still have enough left over to be crowned Russett Potato King.

What a pair of poseurs.

“Minnick, an NRA member, wrote “firearms with no legitimate sporting or recreational use” should be banned.”

I imagine that would include most pistols, anything that can fire more than one shot without reloading (if you can't make a kill with one shot - you shouldn't be hunting), and of course any firearm that is mostly black in color.

Actually - I see now that I miss read it - he includes “recreational use”. Those full-auto shoots where they shoot at cans and cars that blow up look like a lot of fun.

[Eaker]

crowned Russett Potato King.

LOL!

[Myrddin]

Any retard can spend $30 and claim to be an NRA member. That claim means nothing if the guy claims AHSA membership and runs as a Democrat. He's thrown in with the gun grabbers. He speaks of banning firearms. That's enough to ban him from office for life.

Minnick, .... was endorsed by a rival group, Maryland-based American Hunters and Shooters Association,

No need to read any further to know Minnick is an enemy of the 2nd amendment.
