Surprise: Obama Goes Shooting ‘All the Time,’ He Claims
by Joel B. Pollak 26 Jan 2013
Let’s hope he’s a better shot than he is a bowler.
President Barack Obama has revealed that he is a regular shooter, according to an interview posted Sunday at The New Republic:
FF: Have you ever fired a gun?
Yes, in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time.
FF: The whole family?
Not the girls, but oftentimes guests of mine go up there. And I have a profound respect for the traditions of hunting that trace back in this country for generations. And I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake.
It is odd that the president would make that claim only now, after several years of tough campaigning, where such a revelation would have earned him both interest and praise from the voters he once dismissed as “bitter.”
It is unclear whether Obama meant to include himself in his response; he is not directly quoted as saying he personally went shooting, but that “we”–people staying at Camp David–did so. He did not include or exclude himself specifically.
But if Obama did, indeed, mean to refer to himself, it would not be the first time he has boasted of his sporting knowledge or prowess–often without the evidence to back him up.
He has long claimed to be a fan of the Chicago White Sox, for example, but could not name a single White Sox player when asked, and incorrectly referred to the name of their home stadium as “Cominskey Field.” His basketball skills are also somewhat oversold: NBA commissioner David Stern said President Obama is “not as good as he thinks he is.”
In his infamous bowling stunt during the Democratic primary in 2008, then-Sen. Obama bowled a 37, rolling his first ball straight into the gutter as the cameras rolled. Later, in an appearance on The Tonight Show, Obama mocked his performance as being worthy of the “Special Olympics,” a remark for which he was criticized and later apologized
Obama’s shooting claim is evidently meant to assuage critics of his gun control proposals by reassuring them that he shares their enthusiasm for Second Amendment rights–not just sport shooting, but hunting in particular.
Yet supporters of gun rights insist that the Second Amendment is about far more than hunting or even self-defense.
As Breitbart News Editor-at-Large Ben Shapiro told Piers Morgan during their debate earlier this month: “The basis of the second amendment is not really about self defense and it’s not about hunting. It’s about resistance to government tyranny. That’s what the founders said and that’s what the right believe in this country.”
Nearly two-thirds of the nation–not just gun owners–agreed with Shapiro in a recent Rasmussen poll.
Curiously, the president attempted to draw a distinction between gun ownership in rural areas versus urban areas, according to the interview:
Part of being able to move this forward is understanding the reality of guns in urban areas are very different from the realities of guns in rural areas. And if you grew up and your dad gave you a hunting rifle when you were ten, and you went out and spent the day with him and your uncles, and that became part of your family’s traditions, you can see why you’d be pretty protective of that.
So it’s trying to bridge those gaps that I think is going to be part of the biggest task over the next several months. And that means that advocates of gun control have to do a little more listening than they do sometimes.
Were any other politician to have made such a distinction, they might well have been accused of racism.
Whether the Constitution recognizes such geographic distinctions or not, the president’s warning contrasts with the views of at least some law enforcement agencies. Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke, Jr. recently urged residents to become familiar with the use of firearms for their own protection.
This much can be said for President Obama: if he is indeed as regular a shooter as he claims to be, he has not shot anyone in the face.
This narcissistic putz just can’t quit lying about things. He has shown over and over to be a dishonest creep with a tenuous grasp on reality. So, now he’s apparently a skeet shooter, PBA level bowler, NBA star, and expert on baseball. Well, I guess at least with those things he can’t cause as much damage as he could if he was pretending to be President. Oh, wait.

Heh, even the Obama Media doesn’t believe his bullshit anymore.
Apparently, Obama believes the Second Amendment applies only to hunters:
The more comrade zero and bite-me talk, the more I am reminded of prepping for my recent colonoscopy.
@ lobo91:
I am sick of the Hunter straw-man. Obviously this alleged Constitutional Scholar never read the 2nd Amendment. Where does it say Hunters?
This is getting annoying.
My guns are for hunting.
Tyrants and criminals are in season year-round.
Rodan wrote:
He’s read it. He just assumes (probably correctly) that the majority of Americans never did, or don’t understand it if they did.
He revealed way more than he wanted to with this. He just flat out stated that if you aren’t a hunter, you aren’t a responsible gun owner.

@ lobo91:
This Hunter crap is pissing me off.
@ lobo91:
The other argument you hear is that having guns against tyranny won’t work when the govt has planes and tanks, etc… Well, yeah if they want to just kill everyone but if you want to conquer or pacify, then it means boots on the ground and thats when the fun begins. Also kind of hard to start a police state when the people are armed. After first few thugs get ventilated, you’ll find fewer of them want to be employed in thuggery…
Oh horse pucky. If I threw that lightweight my Mossberg 12-gauge, his first question would be what size bullet it took. He’d hit his ass on the ground from the recoil of a 20.
And frankly, this is the first time any of us are hearing that asshole shoots anything other than his mouth off from time to time.
Here’s a police chief who should be fired for violating his oath:
Never confuse the statements made by police chiefs, who are political appointees, with the views of actual cops.
@ Rodan:
The first part of the Second Amendment does not read “Because venison and turkey are so TASTY and accessible to hunters,”
Mars wrote:
And of course the anti-hunting groups are another part of the Democrat coalition. If hunting is the only valid use for a gun, and they ban hunting, then nobody needs guns.
Convenient, huh?
@ Carolina Girl:
Charles claims he got rid of his Mossberg!
@ Carolina Girl:
Yeah I don’t recall reading that.
@ lobo91:
I agree -- he should be fired immediately. I will send this to a few friends in San Diego and I’ve sent it out on Twitter. Time to bombard the Mayor’s office with emails. San Diego is a military town — it is NOT solid blue.
@ Rodan:
I seriously doubt he ever had one.

@ 21 lobo91: That is the way it should. They should set the example they want other people to follow. If they can’t do it, then it is a bad idea from the get go.
My ex police chief became mayor, signed the Bloomberg scumbags Mayors Against Legal Guns, then when the press outed him he quickly withdrew his support. He then got voted out of office as mayor, didn’t get picked by the won to be a federal marshal, ran for PSC, lost, and is now considering his next move.
Anyone here guess what party he is?
The Second Amendment saves a mom and 6 year old.
@ Mars:
Democrat?
@ Rodan:
Big time.
The most hilarious thing I ever saw was when he showed up at a Republican dinner to kiss ass for votes. He and his wife wouldn’t talk to anyone, hid in the corner, and just seemed completely uncomfortable.
The odd part is, he was welcome there, and everyone was being really open and friendly. He was the one being a standoffish ass.
I guess the fact that people actually were asking him questions about his past decisions and actions as Police Chief got under his skin.

I bet Obama would be an avid skeet shooter, if he could get skeet molded with a likeness of John Boehner.
@ lobo91:
He calls himself aConstitutional Lawyer, but he seems terribly unfamiliar with the Constitution. If he’d read it, he might notice that the Second Amendment doesn’t mention hunting. He might also notice that Heller doesn’t presuppose a right to hunt. His lawyer skills aren’t what they’ve been billed as.

Yep, most conservatives understand the difference. Sheriffs are voted in by the people. Police chiefs are political tools of the government.

I read that long hours ago…where is the GOP response?…there is none, and you wonder why people like me just laugh at those guys?…the GOP doesn’t even take their own demise seriously, while others struggle to be the last to fall…what a joke
@ lobo91:
The progressive mask has fallen and been trampled on. But as long as the press continues to feed the public their daily pablum all is well.
Everyone who is capable of paying any amount of attention can see the attempt to grab the assault rifles is just a brief step in the plan. The object is to get as many firearms as they are able out of the hands of the law abiding public. They may never be able to accomplish 100% confiscation, but they can try to dry up the availability of new weapons, ammo, and accessories.
Barf alert:
