That is a ludicrous statement. Given that their web site does not contain this data, asking for their position is absolutely relevant and appropriate.I don't see any indication on their gun policy web site that they have intention of supporting or recommending any additional restrictions on semi-automatic hunting rifles. I feel very confident that the AHSA does not recommend any additional restrictions on any semi-automatic rifles (hunting or sporting) - so asking the question is a bit like asking "When did you stop beating your wife"?
"When did you stop beating your wife"? is a question for which there is no correct answer, and that is designed to entrap the answerer. I am posing no such question. I am asking if the AHSA supports any restrictions on the manufacture, sale, or use of semiautomatic 'hunting' rifles other than those restrictions that currently exist.
I do not know how much more linear or fair a question can get.
I am not. I am relying upon your original post, and asking a good faith question to continue one of the topics in that post.Relying on what the NRA-ILA says about AHSA is a bit like relying on what Sarah Palin says about Barack Obama
Are you not willing to defend and/or elaborate upon your own statements?At any rate, Mr. Schoenke is very clear on the fact that the AWB is a silly law the regulates the looks of some kinds of semi-automatic weapons. I don't want to put words in his mouth, but if I understood home correctly, he did not want AR-15s regulated any differently than any other of what he would call "semi-automatic hunting rifles".
The logic extrapolation of your conversation with Ray is the question of whether the AHSA supports any Federal or state restrictions on the manufacture or sale or ownership of semiautomatic 'hunting' rifles other than those restrictions that currently exist. Since he lumped AR15 restrictions into the same camp as other semiautomatic hunting rifles, it stands to reason that we should ask AHSA their position WRT that broader class of rifles.
