OK, We've Seen The Picture


So the White House has now released an actual photo of President Obama firing a shotgun that isn't photoshopped. Big deal!

I prefer the one below that Scott posted on Facebook.


I doubt the release of the photo will assure any of us that Obama really cares about gun rights, the Second Amendment, or anything else related to us bitter clingers. I think the cartoon below by Hope n' Change captures that doubt.

  1. I call bulls**t on that one... Not dressed for it, holding the gun wrong, etc...

  2. I dunno, that photo looks dodgy. He doesn't have a position to absorb the recoil, he's shooting straight ahead when he's supposed to be shooting skeet and what's with the the smoke coming out to one side? I couldn't say for sure but it just doesn't look right.

    1. When I blew up the original I could see the porting on the barrel. I thought the same thing when I first saw the smoke coming out the top.

  3. What ain't right is the fact that he admitted to using "blow" in his autobiography. The relevant section of 18USC 922(g)"It shall be unlawful for any person—(3) who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802));...to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce."

    Nothing's gonna come of this, the same way David Gregory's non arrest brings to mind.......

  4. To much smoke for smokeless powder. Think it is a photoshop and there was no shots fired.

    1. Could be junky ammo. Or more likely, custom loaded ammo for POTUS that was designed to lower recoil, etc. They could have used a slower powder or something. I doubt they just handed him a 3" magnum and said, "go for it."

      Nothing that happens around those people is normal. Everything is scripted and controlled. They become functionally ignorant once they hit that office.

    2. But in this case, he was functionally ignorant long before he got to that office.
