The NRA is an incredibly influential organization. They regularly rate politicians favorably or unfavorably based upon their pro-gun or anti-gun views.
Anti-gun forces recognize the influence they have with American voters and have fought the NRA to no avail, sometimes losing elections because of the NRA rating.
To counter this and to confuse American voters, presumably left-wing anti-gunners have started a group called the
American Hunters and Shooters Association. The group gives the outward appearance of being pro-gun while at the same time advancing their own agenda and more importantly,
condemning the NRA.
Steer clear of these fakers at all costs. They do not represent true Americans' Second Amendment rights.
