In this photo released by the White House, President Barack Obama shoots clay targets on the range at Camp David, Md., Saturday, Aug. 4, 2012. The White House released a photo of 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.

Well it turns out the release of that snapshot of the President skeet shooting at Camp David still has not satisfied the Skeeters - and some websites are even implying the picture is a fake because other shots of the president that same day show him wearing different clothes.

What he needs to do is what CNN's Piers Morgan did. Piers went down to a Texas gun range, picked up an AR-15 and after about a sixty-second lesson from an instructor he was firing at a rate of about 200 rounds a minute.

That's a legal weapon you could buy this afternoon at Walmart. And with the number of home owners buying them now, I have to think that crime will disappear probably by this weekend. I know criminals are stupid, but how profoundly stupid would you have to be to go up against a homeowner with one of these?

Although as his instructor explained, it's not just about protection from criminals.

"The military and the United Nations are going to come in and take our guns," said the instructor.

"Do you think the American military would attack its own people?" asked Piers.

"If it's forced to - I don't know. I hope not. I hope that would not happen, but I would think at least 40 or 50 percent would," the instructor replied.

Americans need weapons powerful enough to kill U.S. soldiers if need be.

Which is why the skeet picture has done nothing for the President's gun cred. Skeet shooting is about bird hunting. To get REAL gun cred, the President would have to squeeze off 200-round bursts from his AR-15 and then explain he's just getting prepared in case the Secret Service turns on him.

    Not telling him. He obviously does not like the Rights and Freedoms granted by the constitution of this great nation. He has long advocated the Government running our lives and taking away freedoms to more match his "Eden World".

    Australia and Sweden have taken away citizens rights, now charge ridiculous taxes for global warming, have destroyed Evil Businesses with their Socialistic governance. Australia has even banned weapon ownership (Mind you their violent crime has increased 45% or so, but its a small price to pay for Safety).

    So maybe Mr Dave would like to enjoy what they have to offer.

    Oh and he has advocating rewarding Illegals, Just remember that when he tries to immigrate to other countries that they are no so Easy to immigrate to.

    Here is an opinion on Dave Ross's commentary, it's boring and predictable. It's long past time for Dave Ross to retire. The "experiment"of Dave Ross on the morning news is nothing more than Dave spewing his bias onto what is supposed to be a dedicated segment of news and traffic.

    You and Bill Law need to get together and coordinate your responses. He shows a document that indicate the American Military will defy Presidential orders?

    I find it interesting that the police are already killing Americans by the handful EVERYDAY, one got killed just yesterday in a bunker and nobody has complained about the attacking of AMERICAN citizens dying by the hand of the government in the last century?

    But an American supposedly part of a terrorist network that aims to take lives from 1000 of mile away in a foreign country should be protected?

    cough,cough, ok

    So the most important thing about the incident in the bunker was that the police killed an American? The person you portray as a victim of the police murdered a bus driver trying to protect his busload of children, and then took one of the children hostage.

    You do understand that the article you're posting here states that the drone strikes are possible on American citizens......if they are beleived to be “senior operational leaders” of al-Qaida or “an associated force”. So unless I have ties to al Qaida or am up to some really bad stuff that I shouldn't be, why would this bother me? You really think the US Government is out to get us? More directly, you? You must be a very high ranking terrorist if this is what keeps you up at night.

    is not so much the government, but people like you. I have to make the assumption that there are plenty of people just like you in government also, since there are so many of you in society. You will be the snitches for the new Staatssicherheit.

    Of course if any citizen object, they must be guilty of something....right Herr Spitzel?

    The instructor has already built his bunker to hide in when the U.S. comes for his guns. Now he's thinking he'll need more than one 5 year old human shield if he wants to last more than 7 days.

    History is littered with examples of governments that accrued excessive power and turned against their own citizens. Our founding fathers tried to create a nation where that would and could never happen. Alas, the naive liberals among us don't share our founding fathers' beliefs and vision. Sadly, thanks to the Dave Rosses that dominate the mainstream media, our schools, and the entertainment field, they are slowly but surely winning.

    Dave doesn't fear this government because he shares their extremist ideology. He can't imagine that they would ever turn on him.

    out of control government led by extremists in the Justice Department assassinated an unarmed mother holding a baby, slaughtered women and children and armed violent drug cartels....just to name a few examples.
