WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House has released a photo of President Barack Obama firing a gun, two days before he heads to Minnesota to discuss gun
control.
In a recent interview with The New Republic magazine, Obama said "yes" when asked if he has ever fired a gun. He said "we do skeet shooting all the time," except for his daughters, at Camp David, the presidential retreat in
Maryland.

The rifle is cocked in Obama's left shoulder, his left index finger is on the trigger and smoke is coming from the barrel. Obama is pushing a package of gun-control measures in response to the Newtown, Conn., school shooting.

White House Release shows Obama shooting a shotgun with smoke coming out of the muzzle as well as the top of of the upper barrel. Obama says he shoots clays at Camp David. I never heard of a shotgun with a compensator. What about the lower barrel, does it blow downwards? Wouldn't that raise the shotgun upwards? The article calls the shotgun a RIFLE. It actually goes into some detail about Obama's index finger being on the trigger and the "rifle" being cocked in his shoulder. If you take a close look at the person doing the shooting, hoping not to sound racist and I apologize if I offend anyone, isn't the person doing the shooting a bit white to be Obama?

RE: The Photo - Who shoots clays when it's that dark without the use of lights. Obama says he shoots clays as though he's on the side of us that support the 2nd Amendment and appreciates firearms but does he really shoot firearms or is this just another one of his ploys to gain interest of those yet undecided about his over-all aim in dealing with the 2nd Amendment and firearms in general!
