Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry explained that shooting sniper rifles was his version of golf.
“This is my golf,” the candidate said, praising the owners of a gun shop that “make the finest sniper rifles in the world.”
“I’m still trying to get a hole in one,” Perry’s voice is heard saying over video of him firing one of the rifles.
“For me it’s really relaxing and getting to come hang out with what I consider to be patriots, the men and women that work here.”

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Love this. I know I posted another one about his not being a golfer but this one is a little different and I thought you might like to see it.
I know one thing. A person who enjoys shooting and carries a weapon when jogging will defend my rights to own and carry weapons.
Firearms are second only to the Constitution in importance; they are the peoples’ liberty’s teeth…George Washington
I think that Perry is the only candidate to show an open example of practicing his Second Amendment support. I may have seen a picture of Michelle Bachmann shooting a shotgun, I’m not sure. It may have been Sarah Palin. Cain vocally supported the Second Amendment, but then showed he wasn’t sure what it said. Ron Paul probably supports it as he is a Constitutionalist. Romney, No. Gingrich, probably, until it becomes politically expediant not to.
I have more reasons than there are dollars of US debt to fear a reelection of obama. One reason is that, as a lame duck president, I have no doubt that obama would go full bore after some type of gun control and registration.
Bob, I agree so much.
Thanks for the Washington quote.
Tom, I am not osurfe about Bachmann, but I posted a photo of Sarah Palin in the past with a gun and also of her hunting.
Thanks for the run down on the various candidates too.
