Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn: I Can Beat Obama in Skeet Shooting

Marsha Blackburn, the Republican congresswoman from Tennessee, is skeptical about President Barack Obama’s claim that he regularly goes skeet shooting at Camp David.

In the context of the ongoing gun control debate, Obama asserted in an interview in The New Republic that he goes skeet shooting all the time and thus could appreciate the concerns of hunters and sportsmen about firearms regulations.

On Erin Burnett‘s prime time show on CNN, Marsha Blackburn, who is a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights, had this to say about Obama’s sport shooting anecdote:

    “I think this is a relevant point of conversation. 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? As we have had this gun debate that is ongoing, you would have thought it would have a point of reference.
