To me it looks like a couple of folks, probably on or near a sporting clays course (note the hull bag the man is wearing), although the guy doesn't appear to have a tournament gun (fairly nice wood, though it looks like the gal got stuck with a beater). If they're hunting, the visual impression of the locale is that they might get something that glows in the dark. Anyway, just sports people, nothing particularly controversial, though that might not have been the point. Someone in a dense urban environment who is not a sportsman/woman might see something completely different, e.g., a Citori shotgun is the same as an AK.
