Yes but like most dog whistles it can be hand waved away as "sporting" or "protecting mah property".

I'm something of a gun nut myself and still find it off-putting. A lot of the time you can tell they have no idea what they are doing with a gun other than a photo op. It doesn't inspire confidence at all. But their base, that these commercials are made for, does not care.
