I did not find any thing on this during a search, so here is a brief article as quoted from American Handgunner Magazine:

The American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA) is masking itself as a pro-gun, pro-hunting organization. However, if you dig deeper, we found the president of the AHSA was none other than John Rosenthal, co-founder of
"Stop Handgun Violence" (SHV). His bio on the AHSA site fails to mention this little fact. SHV has supported every anti-second amendment rights bill since the organization's creation. The AHSA is obviously trying to hide who they really are and what they stand for. Their Web site is www.huntersandshooters.com so spread the word who they really are.
 
An Update

According to Gun Week :
"AHSA Executive Director Robert Ricker has become an outspoken critic of the National Rifle Association, for whom he once worked, and he was an outspoken opponent of federal legislation to protect gunmakers from municipal junk lawsuits, even though now the AHSA website touts its support for this legislation".

There have been several previous posts on this, the URL is: http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=177309 which in turn copied info from this URL http://johnrlott.tripod.com/2005/08/...ations-to.html (excerpted below):

Democrats set up fake organizations to support gun control policies
Democratic Leadership Council use PR firm to push more Gun Laws

A Washington based PR Firm called DCS - Internet Advocacy Group thats used by a list of who's who in the Democrat party as well as the official PR firm for the Democrat leadership Council (DLC) that Sen. Hillary Clinton is the 'Chair' member as well as reportedly hand pick DCS to do ALL of the DLC PR work.

DCS Has register a bogus 'Pro-Gun' sportsmen group in the attempt to make it appear as hunters and trap shooters are in favor of Assault weapon 'bans as well as other anti gun related issues.

By creating this made up group called The American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA), who will inevitably be used in future Democrat led anti gun campaigns in the near future as so called 'expert' witnesses or a 'sane' voice of sportsmen. just so the anti gun democrats can grandstand for gun control non-issues via their willing accomplishes in the press. I'd imagine the closer we get to the '08' presidential election the more (AHSA) will be in the news.

Dick Morris , former Clinton PR man has stated numerously how the Democrats and Sen. Hillary have personally created made up Internet based advocacy groups repeatedly in the past to drum up false public support to site at their press conferences and Senate hearings, just so the Democrats will get their names put out in the news. According to Morris, During the Clinton administration there was a brainstorming group under then first lady Hillary's oversight inside the white house who did this kind of fabricated PR all the time.

So who did DCS make as the head of their bogus gun group, well none other than John Rosenthal, Co founder of Stop Handgun Violence (SHV). SHV has supported every anti-second amendment rights bill since the organizations creation.The personal pet anti gun group of the anti-gun Democrats.

The following background on all involved was uncovered.
