American Hunters & Shooters Ass'n director takes out new antigun ad

John Rosenthal, the millionaire founding director of AHSA (he resigned last year after his antigun connections became a little too publicized) has taken out a billboard that is a fake gun store front proclaiming "We Sell Guns! No ID required. No background checks. Criminals and terrorists welcome!"

"Gun shows are the equivalent of Al Qaeda terrorists walking directly onto the airplane while you and I wait in the TSA line," John Rosenthal, founder and chairman of Stop Handgun Violence, said in a recent interview."

So much AHSA as supposedly representing shooters...

Hat tip to reader Jack Anderson...
