• Some one said on twitter, we finally have a picture of a gun that is safe for our kids to bring to school without getting suspended.

  • And would little Johnny get expelled from kindergarten for taking his hero to show-and-tell?

• Seven reasons why this photo is a photoshopped fake: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2013/02/seven_reasons_why_its_a_photo-opp_3.html

  • And furthermore, it turns out he was golfing all day. He did go to Camp David after golfing, but would he immediately head over to the shooting range after being gone all day? And if so, WHY DID HE CHANGE HIS WATCH, because that's not the watch he was wearing at the golf course. Surely a man who only went skeet shooting this once doesn't have a special shooting watch: http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2013/02/president-obamas-busy-day.html

    • ha, I was wondering if there was a way to search his itinerary for that day...and he changed his pants twice and shirt once. O.o

• he's got his fingers curled way up over the fore-end too. onto the barrel, actually. very awkward form. bet it's his first and only shot ever.

  • These are great, thanks. The one with O in the General Lee is really good.

  • LMAO!!! They sure did a good job!

• Sorry about hijacking the thread. Back to politics now... I got nothing.

  • But hijacking threads is fun...I do it all the time.

• I wish I had an AR15 type now! Shoulda got one years ago when I had the spare change. This stock is far too cool! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U6tORrODJE

• This young girl with her Satanic Bushmaster WMM is doing this all correctly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8nda8yPNbI

  • And looks good doing it!

• A fine little video, 2 minutes and change, instruction and demonstration. Note barrel alignments and minimal recoil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaF9rE-uE6w

  • Also notice the left wrist and elbow alignment. Since he's a lefty it will show you how phony the photo of Barry is.

• Here are a few pics of what a good shooting posture for engaging a moving aerial target with a shotgun:

  And of course, people are not all the same. Some are more comfortable in a forward lean than others. Here - http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=126880 - is another site with a bunch of people talking back and forth about what is the right way to shoot rifle versus shotgun. Funny that the AR15 type rifles is so easy to shoot and has been refined so much that there are examples of it available now with recoil so slight it could be considered practically imperceptible. A little nudge on the shoulder accompanied by no barrel rise. They are truly wonderful little guns. They're light and easy to wield, adaptable to every type situation save for hard penetration targets. Typical 223 FMJ bullets disintegrate on 1/2" steel plate, where a 308 FMJ will burn through it leaving what looks much like a slightly gnarled 1/2" drill hole. The venerable 30.06 will blast through block walls, you don't need to have a 50BMG to do that, although they are better at it!

  Placing the stock of these AR15s high on your shoulder doesn't mean you're doing it wrong at all. Depending on the application and the comfort of the shooter, these rifles are highly versatile.

  Shotgun loads for trap, skeet or any high volume shooting are typically light loads because, let's face it, after you bruise your shoulder, repeated shooting is not much fun.
