What's Wrong With This Picture ?

The last years that I wore a wristwatch, I wore it on my right (dominant-side) wrist, to confuse anyone considering "starting something" about my handedness. Big Brother, on the other probably does not worry about such stuff.

Would that be a "ported" gun and is that amount of smoke normal?
Don't do much of that sort of shooting...

I've never seen anyone shoot skeet not leaning forward. Not after the first time, anyway.
If he were standing stone straight like that, wouldn't the gun be rocking him back a little upon firing, as the photo purports to show (the smoke looks photoshopped to me)?

I find it odd that the only photo snapped of him with a gun comes just as he fires. If this were a frequent event, wouldn't there be photos of him palling around with his fellow shooters?

If you see the quote I furnished above, it's not a frequent event. I have no doubt that it's a staged photo and a friend retired from federal law enforcement points out that the USSS keeps around a few presidential doppelgangers so it may not even be of Big Brother himself. (I've never paid attention, in the photos of him signing those bills that he actually signs in person, whether he wears his watch on the left hand.)

To ALL,
It comes down to this: ZERO IS A SERIAL LIAR & the truth is a stranger to that CREEP.
(I keep asking myself, "What did we all do to deserve him & his coven of Chicago CROOKS???")
yours, sw

That hold looks kind of painful, is it just me or does he have one corner of the stock in his shoulder and not the full plate? I won't knock it if it works for him though.
I'm not doubting that he did it, at that angle he may either have been firing at it as it came right off the launcher or he was taking a longer shot at a falling target.
It's fascinating to see all the theories about it though.

If you look at other photos of him, he always wears his watch on that side...either that, or they always reverse all of the photos of him.
The stance and hold looks very awkward…but if it's his first time shooting; I could see such a hold. With light loads and a fairly heavy sporting clays gun he wouldn't necessarily get rocked back. But he's pretty thin, so maybe he would. But at the end of the day, it really doesn't matter.
The idea of him shooting is just a flashback to Dukakis in an M1 - BS politics. He's just trying to convince the fence sitters that he's "one of us". Personally, I would have had MUCH more respect if he just came out and said that he hates guns and gun owners everywhere. I can respect that…I don't agree with it, but I can respect it. This is such a blatant case of trying to sell something, and it's so poorly done. Are you trying to tell me they couldn't find ONE left wing skeet shooter to just properly take him through a course the right way just once? Man I used to run into them all the time. L A M E ! ! !

Well, I never really thought that O's "handedness" -- or which wrist he wore his watch on, was a important issue. I guess I was really being cute by trying to make a snarky observation unrelated to O's poor stance with the shotgun.
It is exactly as you say -- "BS" politics, publishing a photo of the pres. firing a longgun in a "gentleman's sport." We all know the 2A is not about blowing up flying discs, irregardless of whether or not they've been identified.
I suppose I could agree that if he simply said "I hate guns and those who own them" I could respect him more. I don't think it's psychologically possible to respect anyone less.:twisted:
Well....it IS a poorly done sell. You're right about that....let's just leave it there.

Obama trying to shoot a shotgun looks like a girl trying to pee standing up.

As a Matter of Fact...
When I was about 20 years old, I had a friend who told me that she had figured out a system to pee standing up. I never saw her do it but I suspect that she could do a better job of it than Big Brother did with that shotgun.
