This statement is akin to a NASCAR driver advocating speed limiters. Not only is it counterproductive to the sport, but it's deliberately misleading. The IHSA is a supporter of "assault-weapons bans," magazine capacity limits, ammunition and caliber restrictions, and a host of other gun-control "causes."A Maryland hunter, Ray Schoenke, has formed a new group, the American Hunters and Shooters Association, primarily as a home for hunters who would support some restrictions on gun and ammunition sales.
The IHSA has been exposed by multiple organizations, including the NRA, to be a shill for Soros, Handgun Control, and the rest of their GFW (gun-fearing wuss) ilk.
The attitude that Jim Zumbo expressed out of ignorance towards AR-15s (and later retracted) is this group's official platform. Had they their way, we'd all be hunting with single-shots, because after all, "No one NEEDS more than one shot at a time, right?"
And calling the NRA "extremist?" Many gun owners think they're too moderate, and wish they were MORE "extremist," myself included. That being said, I'm an NRA member, and will continue to be for a long time. The only thing IHSA will ever get from me is a horse-laugh (and, if they send me a handy little postage-paid envelope, they'll get the envelope back - wrapped around a brick).
