Gun Owners of America slams Minnick's association with anti-gun group

Gun Owners of America slams Minnick's association with anti-gun group

(Springfield, VA) -- Gun Owners of America today criticized Idaho congressional candidate Walt Minnick for his ties with the gun control group American Hunters and Shooters Association. GOA's Vice Chairman Tim Macy issued the following statement:

"Walt Minnick claims to support the Second Amendment, yet he is endorsed by a new breed of anti-gun radicals masquerading as friends of gun rights.

"The American Hunters and Shooters Association -- a group supporting Minnick -- has a name designed to appeal to gun owners and sportsmen, but it is nothing more than a front organization for the Obama campaign and gun control extremists.

"Anti-gun activists know the American people do not support their radical agenda. The old gun control groups that enjoyed their heyday during two Clinton administrations are shrinking or are out of existence. So they've come up with clever new packaging, using images of hunters instead of criminal street gangs as illustrations on campaign literature. But a picture of a hunter on a website is not going to pull the wool over the eyes of gun owners.

"Just look at the candidates AHSA's president Ray Schoenke has contributed to in the past: Al Gore, John Kerry, Barbara Boxer, Bill Clinton, Dianne Feinstein and Ted Kennedy, not to mention Handgun Control, Inc. This list represents the Who's Who of the anti-gun movement!

"This year AHSA is touting Barack Obama, who would be the most anti-gun president in the history of this country.

"If congressional candidate Walt Minnick cared one bit about the Second Amendment, he would publicly denounce the radical AHSA.

"Rep. Bill Sali stands in stark contrast to his anti-gun opponent, earning an 'A+' rating from GOA for his efforts in Congress to protect and defend the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.

"Gun Owners of America is proud to endorse Rep. Bill Sali for reelection, and urges gun owners and sportsmen to vote on Tuesday."

Gun Owners of America is a national pro-gun organization with over 300,000 members nationwide. Gun Owners of America Political Victory Fund is the political action arm of GOA.
