Embracing her strong pro-gun stance, Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann fired off a few rounds from an M4 carbine Thursday morning, according to employees of a local ammunition manufacturer in her district.
The pro-Second Amendment conservative and rising Tea Party movement icon made the final public campaign stop of her two-day bus tour at Federal Ammunition ATK in Anoka, Minnesota.
Photography and videotaping were not allowed. Employees of ATK who were in attendance told CNN about the visit before the campaign ushered them away saying details for the press would be provided by the campaign.
Two employees said Bachmann fired off several rounds on a semi-automatic (single shot per trigger pull) before switching over to an automatic (multi-shot per pull) for a few minutes. She was shooting at printed human profile targets that, according to the employees, she kept as a souvenir. The employees said they were a little too far away to see how good her aim was.
Initially, the campaign declined to discuss details of what occurred following the event except to say Bachmann "toured an ammunition factory." But after being pressed with details already provided by the ATK workers Bachmann spokesman Sergio Gor wrote in an email:
"Congresswoman Bachmann today toured Federal Ammunition ATK, and met with dozens of employees that have worked at the factory for many years. Federal Ammunition ATK is a significant employer in the district and Congresswoman Bachmann considers these jobs very important for the district. Congresswoman Bachmann is a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment and was able to fire several rounds of bullets produced in this factory. The Congresswoman has a great shot and did well!"

compliments of thus.
and others.
shame.
Haven’t ever seen a liberal female with a firearm; even the males (John Kerry,etc.) look super dorky.
Palin and Bachman and oh yeah Ann Coulter (much maligned of late) have more testosterone than the entire democrat house of representatives.
Hmmmm Maybe Liddy will do a Conservative Women’s Calendar? Palin.. Bachmann.... Would go nicely next to Stacked and Packed...LOL

Real women shoot guns.
This is still America. Deal with it pansy-asses.
Actually women make very good marksmen. They don’t get into the whole macho monster rifles and take their time with their shots. Once they get used to the recoil and gain confidence from sucess, they are very accurate. One of the things the soviets did right during WWII was to deploy female snipers. They were very effective. My hunting buddy, my daughter, has excellent vision and a very steady hand. She started out spotting feral pigs for me and recently has taken down a few sows. Ear shots all of them. Heaven help the poor guy who ever really pisses her off.
You go Girl!
My left-handed wife is a good handgun and rifle shot. Keep it simple (like a 30-30) and she knocks them down.
She will protect her own like a “mama grizzly”
Love Michele!
