Jon Huntsman, who has made much of the motorcycles he owns, bragged about his shotgun Saturday as he wooed gunowners in a state where the former Utah governor is counting on a breakout performance to vault him into the race for the GOP presidential nomination.
“I’ve been shooting guns since I was, I guess, 6, when I started with a BB gun, and then a .22 when I was 12, which I still have, by the way. And then I have a shotgun, a 12-gauge shotgun,” Huntsman told reporters outside Concord’s Everett Ice Arena, where more than 50 gun vendors were gathered for a show and sale.

The RINO is polling at 0% and the lib media continues pimping him. Give it up already.
Hey, I’m convinced! I am totally on the John Hunterman bandwagon now!
He comes across as a bag of bi partisan platitudes without a core. You can reach into a barrel of nameless faceless politicians and pull out a Jon Huntsman model with the string on his back. Pull it and hear him speak every shopworn political platitude you have ever heard.
He’s braggin that he owns two guns? Sheesh, I’d be embarassed.
Yep, just what the Republican electorate is clamoring for, our own John Kerry.
What a novel concept!
A shotgun just like the one Granny used to use for varmints....
You don’t really think he has a set like Sarah Palin do you?
wait....wait.....Sarah Palin can field dress a moose — Jon Huntsman can dress an arugula salad.
Heh.
I don’t own any guns, lost them all in a tragic fishing accident.
Every time I’m watching TV and a lib is asked which candidate has the best chance of beating Obama, they say ‘Huntsman’. Which just goes to show that libs can’t tell the truth about anything.
The next thing we'll see is him driving around in a tank.
The guy is more of a democrat than Hillary. Why is he running as a Republican, anyway? If we wanted more Oboma, we'd ask for more Oboma.
Huntsman is creepy!!!!
nice picture and quote — I feel strangely aroused......
