Do we really need a photo of President Obama with a gun to reassure enthusiasts?

3. I don't think that would appease anyone..

...I'm surprised I haven't heard his comments about having more "flexibility" with gun control after he gets re-elected than I have.

4. he knows that there will be flexibility

. . . already built into any compromise legislation. No need for him to egg that on. It'll be enough of an effort to just keep the proposals he's made intact. The recalcitrant votes will provide whatever daylight there is between his recommendations and what Congress is willing to reconcile and pass.

5. Heck no

The only way to reassure pro 2nd Amendment right people is for him to continue respecting the 2nd Amendment and its supporters.

6. I don't think it would be helpful

Based on the tone of the comments, the MSM thinks he made up the skeet story. Jay Carney wasn't convincing. Let's just leave it at that. No need to appease the NRA because they're never going to change their beliefs about him. Presidential gun photos only inspire more people to buy guns.

7. I think NRA enthusiasts will be the only ones (other than the press) who care

. . . whether he's fired a gun or not.

I agree that virtually nothing he does will gain their support.
