Triggerfinger says: Beware of Brady's in camo...

Triggerfinger alerts us to another allegedly pro-gun group at www.huntersandshooters.com that isn't what it seems:

And we can't trust these folks. How do I know?

Their President is Ray Schoenke, who seems clean at first glance... but in 1996 his firm donated $1000 to the campaign of Torricelli (D-NJ). New Jersey is a gun control paradise and Torricelli has voted consistently in favor of gun control. Ray himself ran for the Democratic nomination for governor of Maryland.

Their executive director is Bob Ricker, infamous traitor to the gun industry. He used to lobby for us, before he decided that the role of Brutus was better suited to his temperment. He's provided testimony in prominent firearms-liability lawsuits -- testimony against the gun industry.

Their president is John E Rosenthal, who has worked with the 'gun violence prevention efforts' of Boston, Massachussetts. He co-founded the gun-control group 'Stop Handgun Violence', and suggests that the gun laws of Massachusetts should be the model for the country. He's spent a great deal of money on anti-gun advertising, including a national billboard campaign in collaboration with Handgun Control president Michael Barnes.

And there's more, be sure to read the whole thing.

It's pretty pathetic when these people have to try and trick people into supporting them to be able to fund their agenda. They should just tell the truth, and stand or fall on that.

UPDATE: John Lott has more information on this group.

UPDATE the SECOND: Further developments from John Lott.
