First it's Canadian whiskey and now its European guns? Hillary can't help being elitist...

Sen. Hillary Clinton’s mailing attacking Sen. Barack Obama’s record on guns appears to include a striking visual gaffe: The image of the gun pictured on the face of the mailing is reversed, making it a nonexistent left-handed model of the Mauser 66 rifle.

To make matters worse, a prominent gun dealer said, it’s an expensive German gun with customized features that make it clearly European.

“The gun in the photo does not exist,” said Val Forgett III, president of Navy Arms in Martinsburg, W.Va. Forgett's company was Mauser’s agent in the United States when the gun was released, and it sold Mauser guns here again in the 1990s. “The bolt is facing to the left side of the receiver, making it a left-handed bolt action rifle, indicating whoever constructed and approved the mailer did not recognize the image has been reversed.”

Forgett said the error would be obvious to sportsmen.

“I find it laughable on its face,” he said. “It’s like a picture of Babe Ruth hitting right-handed.”

My dad would have been amused. He was a lefty and a gun collector. I'm right-handed but learned to shoot with a left-handed browning .22.

He used to make fun of older war flicks that used the wrong planes for the battle...or even the wrong engine noises for the planes.

He would have gotten a kick out of this gaffe. But I suspect he would have supported Obama anyway, having helped to vote in liberal IL pols like Durbin, etc.

trying to play Annie Oakley. I know I was.

He sounds like he was a really cool guy...

Hill being Annie Oakley would have tickled him! :)

These guys fuck up almost every add they do! The obama supporter little girl, the factory clinton sold this....It's like they are trying to undermine their own message time and again.

Most dysfunctional campaign in history!
