This particular comment is worth commenting on for two reasons. First, I have my doubts that President Obama knows anything about a shotgun that doesn't involve a joint. Second, it feeds into the mythos that somehow the Second Amendment is about hunting. Again, the left is using distraction to change the discussion. The old leftist mantra was that the Second Amendment was an antiquated provision of the Constitution dealing with the provision of militias and that the comma in the wording of the Amendment meant that it was not an individual right, but rather, the right of a group, the militias, which no longer exist. Call me somewhat less than surprised that the left speaks in terms of group rights over those of individuals. The Supreme Court, however, has shot that down recently, much to my delight. So, now, they are changing the argument. Now, it is the conciliatory idea that, of course we have rights to guns and arms, but it's just for hunting, and who needs an AR-15 (hint, the AR doesn't stand for assault rifle) or more than 7-10 bullets to kill a deer. Personally, I'm a pretty shitty shot with a rifle and may need thirty bullets to even alert a deer that I'm in the same geographical area. Don't let the argument shift rhetorically, or you lose.
