Whoa, whoa, whoa. Not so fast, there, Mr. Real Journalist from CNN. We’re all thankful for the laughs the White House has provided today by releasing a photo of President Mom Jeans firing a shotgun. But before you claim that the picture “shoots down skepticism from some Republicans that Obama has fired a gun,” let’s check the old timeline.

Who originally asked the president, “Have you ever fired a gun?” That would be the folks at the New Republic, hardly a group of Republicans. And it wasn’t the question that was so entertaining, but rather Obama’s response: he and guests go skeet shooting all the time. Why, he’s probably out shooting right now. It was the press who then asked Jay Carney just how often “all the time” really is, to which Carney had no good answer.

First NRA demands proof of Obama skeet shooting. Then he releases it & they say it doesn’t matter you’re still our enemy even though…

Yeah, the NRA, the New Republic and the White House Press Corps; we get them mixed up all the time too, Touré.

So, Obama shot a gun last August. I guess he does go skeet shooting all the time. Thank you, credulous MSM. @noltenc

So no, Gregory Wallace, it’s not whether Obama has ever fired a gun that concerns Republicans and many others, but what restrictions he intends to impose on the rest of America.

NRA on WH skeet photo: “One picture does not erase a lifetime of supporting every gun ban and every gun control scheme imaginable.”

Oh, and Sharyl Attkisson and a few others would still like to see those photos from another shooting that happened in Benghazi, Libya. She asked back in October.

Looks like he’s shooting trap and holds it like a newbie. Other than that, I’m glad to see O embrace 2A, even in one photo.

I don’t care about one photo of him awkwardly holding a shotgun. Benghazi, Fast and Furious, gun-free Chicago crime rate still exist.
