From anti-gun litigation to hunter advocacy?

It seems Robert Ricker, active as an expert witness on the plaintiff's side in lawsuits against the firearms industry, has now reinvented himself as a "sportsmen's advocate". David Hardy, at Arms and the Law, begs to differ with the notion that Ricker is a former "chief lobbyist for the NRA" [National Rifle Association]. (Jun. 25; see Phil Bloom, "New group defies NRA, Brady outfit on gun issues", Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette, Jun. 25). At Washington Monthly, Christina Larson is promoting Ricker's activities, but has met with some skepticism from commenters (Jun. 18 and Jun. 20).
