During a recent public hearing in Hartford, Connecticut about gun violence, the same hearing where the Sandy Hook father explained why his daughter is safer at home where he can protect her with firearms than at school, legal immigrant Henson Ong argued against gun control legislation being proposed in the state. Ong cited American history, the Los Angeles riots of the 1990s and tyranny overseas as examples as to why the Second Amendment is needed. He also pointed out that the United States has a long history of gun ownership ranging from high school rifle teams to hunting, yet...

Did you notice how he was holding that shotgun? If he keeps that up, he's liable to break a collarbone. You want a low-recoil weapon if you're going to hold it that way. Also, he was obviously shooting a very low flying skeet.

There is something seriously wrong with that picture of Obama supposedly shooting skeet. Look at the smoke from the muzzle. What's that plume of smoke going off to the right, perpendicular to the barrel? Also, what's that extending out of the upper barrel on the over under double barrel he's holding? The bottom barrel has no such extension? Can anyone explain what's going on with those issues in focus? I've heard no one explain it as of yet in several forums I frequent, including some where it's mostly gun owners posting. That picture doesn't pass the smell test. Something is rotten at Camp David.

I couldn't figure out that perpendicular plume of smoke, either.

Evidently a ported barrel. I suspect that what looks like some sort of extension is a spot of flame at the end of the barrel. I just googled and saw a sharper picture.

Photo-op, pure & simple! A 12-year old kid from a hunting State can hold a gun better then skinny armed obama can.

He was shooting a musket. The shotgun was 'shopped in'. See how easy that was. I should go work for these Lucifarians.

Looks like photoshop at play. If the shotgun had a muzzlebreak the second plume would near the front of the shotgun. Obama is such a twit.

But ported barrels typically have multiple ports around the barrel. They also point backwards to "pull" the gun forward, thus reducing recoil. That one plume of smoke off to the right just doesn't look right. Something had to have been altered in that photo. I guess I could see that the "extension" from the top barrel might be a plume of fire, but the shape doesn't look like a natural plume of fire. Why is it flat on the end instead of a rounded or in a tear drop shape? Something is amiss.
