When is an anti-gun rights group a pro-gun rights group?

Answer: when the media wants them to be. See this, an article by Cam Edwards at TownHall.com. Mr. Edwards' piece is not so much an expose of the American Hunters and Shooters Association, but instead notices the significant omissions of relevant facts left out of a recent story in The New Republic by Michael Blanding about the people who run the organization. Money quote -

In [an earlier piece] Blanding describes Rosenthal as an “anti-gun activist”, but now he’s a pro-gun moderate alternative to the NRA. Why? Because Blanding didn’t write a TNR article about the need for more gun control, he wrote an article about liberals trying to woo gun-owners. To accurately portray Rosenthal as someone who helped pass Massachusetts’ Gun Control Act of 1998 does nothing to win the hearts and minds of gun owners.

I just completed the Muppet Personality Test. Here's what came up (drum roll, please)...

You Are Rowlf the Dog

Mellow and serious, you enjoy time alone cultivating your talents. You're a cool dog, and you always present a relaxed vibe. A talented pianist, you can play almost anything - especially songs by Beethoven. "My bark is worse than my bite, and my piano playing beats 'em both."

The Muppet Personality Test

What a surprise! It could have been worse: It could have come back as "Miss Piggy."
