• Wear a T-shirt emblazoned with an image of a gun...

• Simply talk about guns...
• Pretend a human hand is a gun...
• Make "gun noises" with a pencil...
• Create gun-shaped pastry...

The 2011 photo is part of a White House web site gallery that shows Obama just "being a dad" in honor of Father's Day:
