The White Houses attempt to portray President Obama as a gun user may have had unintended consequences today, as a newly released photo of Mr. Obama firing a rifle at Camp David set off a panic of gun buying across the U.S. Right-wing opponents of Mr. Obama were behind the frenzied gun sales, saying that they were terrified by the image of an armed and shooting President. I dont want to sound paranoid or anything, but now everything Obama has been doing makes sense, said Harland Dorrinson, who was waiting on a blocks-long line outside a West Virginia Wal-Mart. He wants to take away all our guns and then hes going to come shoot us. Learning that Mr. Obama only uses his rifle for skeet-shooting did little to calm Mr. Dorrinson: Somebody owning a gun just for sporting purposes? Yeah, right. In an effort to stem the panic, White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters today that skeet-shooting took up relatively little of the Presidents time at Camp David, and that his favorite leisure activities were actually badminton and frisbee. The White House later released a photo of Mr. Obama putting away his gun and never using it again. Get The selfnews delivered to your inbox. Photograph by Pete Souza.
