Jon Stewart on Thursday mocked people who demand to see a photo of President Obama skeet shooting at Camp David to believe it.

“Why won’t the black man half the country lives in fear of release a picture of himself holding a gun?” Stewart said. “I don’t understand. It would put everyone at ease. Why won’t he do it?”

Obama told the New Republic in an interview that he and guests at Camp David go skeet shooting “all the time.” Stewart called the comment a misguided effort to appeal to gun advocates. “Since when did the ability to fire a weapon become a badge of honor, a patriotic achievement?” Stewart said. “All you need is a finger.”
