Barack Obama: 'I go shooting all the time'

President Barack Obama has claimed that he goes shooting "all the time", while attempting to reassure American gun-owners that he respects their rights to use firearms.

Amid conservative anger over Mr Obama's proposals to ban assault weapons as part of a drastic overhaul of US gun control laws, the president said that he was a keen clay-pigeon shooter.

Asked in a magazine interview whether he had ever fired a gun, Mr Obama said he did so with guests at the president's rural retreat.

"Up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time," he said. "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".

Dick Cheney could use a bird hunting partner.

Maybe he thought they meant "shopping".

Bleh, shooting blanks and shooting his wad don't count! I'd pay money to see him load a mag and inert said mag and then look confused on what to do next!!!

I don't think he could handle the recoil from a shotgun of any gauge.

I looked to find a picture of him holding a gun, and did find only one.

I guess the reasoning is; I've spoken so I am qualified to control speech, I've seen a doctor so I am qualified to dictate what health care you receive, Michelle has eaten to the point of a double size ass so she can tell our children what they must eat, I have sold guns to drug runners so I know what guns you should be allowed buy, i have spent the country into bankruptcy so I will tell you how you must cut back and pay more taxes, I have flown around the world endlessly on frivolous vacations so I know how you must cut back on driving and the size of your car to save fuel.
What else has he done to uniquely qualify him to take us to our ruin?
