WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House has released a photo of President Barack Obama firing a gun, two days before he heads to Minnesota to discuss gun control.
In a recent interview with The New Republic magazine, Obama said "yes" when asked if he has ever fired a gun. He said "we do skeet shooting all the time," except for his daughters, at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.

The gun is ported, he also looks like he sighting into the release. This is probably one of the first few shots he took.
The WH has declared dictatorship too soon!
Look at his cheek against that gun....And where did the smoke come from?? Sorry....this is a phoney joke...

Lets not forget that skeet shooting is not what the 2nd is truly about
That is a break open shotgun.
The Browning Citori shotgun usually comes ported from the factory.
my thought too........thought you pointed upward when skeet shooting??
Guess so...too expensive for my taste.
I’ve never seen anyone use dark lens when shooting sheet, usually its vermilion, orange, yellow and clear. They make a gray lens but it’s not popular among my shooting crowd. Makes me think photo op.
That pic looks like it was taken Fort Marcy Park!
(Cue the twilight zone music)
Where is the wooden fence that was around the Camp David Skeet Range?

Original picture - where are the black arms for a black President - Does he have his Mother’s white arms only? Looks pretty white and not black.
