Maybe that's why it's called "member discussions."

Rep. Marsha Blackburn has challenged our gun-slinging president to a skeet shooting match. What, you didn't know Obama goes skeet shooting "all the time" at Camp David? Blackburn feels confident she would win the match, Obama is probably as skilled as Romney when he goes hunting for "small varmints."

Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) challenged President Barack Obama to a skeet shooting contest and questioned whether Obama really enjoys the hobby as he said in a recent interview.

“If he is a skeet shooter, why have we not heard of this? Why have we not seen photos? Why hasn’t he referenced this at any point in time?” Blackburn said on CNN on Monday night.

She added: “I tell you what I do think — I think he should invite me to Camp David, and I’ll go skeet shooting with him and I bet I’ll beat him.”

C'mon Mr. President, accept the challenge.

He's still working on that bowling stuff. Maybe he can borrow Sec State John F Kerry's hunting outfit.

Does it matter? Why is this important to anyone?

Different opinions are welcome here, you can't oust anyone because they don't share your zeal for totally unimportant factoids.
How is this in any way important to the gun control issue?

You guys holler he is going to take your gun, and then you holler when he sympathizes with hunters and sport shooters.

I would hate to be a cop and ten people had weapons drawn and have to decide who to shoot. Maybe its different in a rural community with one or two schools and the police are to far away to respond but I would rather have a few experienced well trained cops outside than a few poorly trained teachers in a crowded hallway or classroom.

Thanks for the lecture but making a suggestion is not the same thing as ousting someone. If it's unimportant to you then feel free to ignore the discussion. It's quite simple really.

Surprised that libs own guns? LOL, no. In fact quite a few that lecture us on gun control hide behind them on a regular basis. I am curious as to if that particular liberal goes skeet shooting "all the time" or if he's just pandering.

The guy that wants gun control is pandering by showing that he likes guns? What?

Uh, yes. What do you not get?

Hunting and shooting were talked about in previous administrations:

The hypocrisy is incredible, isn't it.

Yet again you guys always pander to the ones in the echo chamber you live in.

Hunting is the side show... I read the ratification debates... the 2nd amendment wasn't passed to insure our right to hunt.

Haven't you righties learned that resisting arrest no matter the circumstances is a foolish thing to do? Armed conflict with what you think is a tyrannical government can be considered by some as a foolish thing too since we fight in the courts, not the woods.

Maybe a more effective way to bear arms would be through strong communities and even stronger lawyers, especially given no one is going to take what you have, just make some guns unavailable for future loonies which we will be looking closer at.

Its like every other issue we argue in current events you guys have rights the rest of us don't, and yours trump everyone else's, and some deserve none at all.

That's odd because we aren't the ones arguing for a mythical right to force someone else to buy contraceptives. We are however defending your first and second amendment rights.

Well, to be "fair and balanced" maybe it is, maybe it isn't.

And in other gun control news...

Newtown Votes for Armed Guards in Elementary Schools

By Alexander Abad-Santos | The Atlantic Wire – 3 hrs ago

As the nation continues to confront the concept of "good guys with guns" in schools, armed guards are coming in force to Newtown, Connecticut. Late Thursday the Newtown Board of Education voted to request the presence of two kinds of guards inside the town's elementary schools. The vote, for now, only represents a request — it still needs to clear budget and logistical boundaries since the guards would come from the town's police resources as opposed to the school board itself. But the plan "would put two eyes and ears -- one armed, one unarmed -- at each Newtown school," reports Bronxville Patch's Davis Dunavin. The guards, officially called school resource officers (SROs), were already a fixture at all Newtown schools in the wake of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary, but until this vote they were budgeted only to be a presence at middle and high Schools, according to NBC Connecticut.

From reports of the school-board meeting, concerned parents cited the Sandy Hook shootings as their reason for backing an armed-guard policy. "The only thing that stopped that guy that day was when the two Newtown police burst in the building," one parent is quoted as saying in the Patch story. "You all know that." Which sounds eerily familiar to the NRA's "good guy with a gun" talking point, even though the Obama administration has backed armed guards if schools want them. One of President Obama's 23 executive actions on gun violence includes the following order: "Provide law enforcement, first responders, and school officials with proper training for active shooter situations."
