Folks this is VERY IMPORTANT.
Ask WHY?
Why are they doing this? Why bother?
It is very important to them that they cover up their end goals in all things, otherwise they can’t incrementalize their way to that goal.
It is very important that they appear to support hunting and sporting use of firearms to hide their true goal of total confiscation.
Don’t just discuss “skeet gate”. Make sure you directly confront the WHY of it.
WE have to remember that guns used for skeet are good guns. They don’t kill anyone like those bad old Assault weapons.
Skeet guns are well behaved, while those bad old assault weapons are likely to go off in a school full of kids at any monute.Even while laying in the trunk of a car while those bad old pistols with big magazines do the shooting.
Wholeheartedly agree with MrB’s succintly-put point:

— and as to the photoshopped-smoke theory:
Couldn’t someone (other than me) offer a cash reward for anyone who can duplicate that smoke pattern in real life? If no one can, even with a cash incentive . .

Funny thing though, I read that the Shotgun Kerry used at the time was one that he wanted included in the Clinton Assault Weapons Ban.
What does it matter? Rulers don’t have to follow Rules.
