Kim Rhode shoots guns for a living, but she has long seen them as the tools of her trade, no different than a golfer’s clubs. She was surprised, then, when she was asked about gun control at the London Olympics, shortly after winning gold in skeet shooting and becoming the first American to medal in five straight Games. Four years later, America’s most-decorated Olympic shooter is more willing to wade into questions about guns and their role in American society.

No bias in that headline, eh?
I hate the Ministry of Propaganda, but I must admit they are very practiced in the art of propaganda.
“Gold Medalist Defends The 2nd Amendment”
would have been more honest, but they are not honest.
Beat me by 4 minutes. Had I not spent time making my snarky/sarcastic comments, I may have beaten you on this one. LOL!
Good for her speaking up.
I recently had to spend a day in Baltimore. It was a stark reminder of the idiocy of gun control: the places I feel the most need to be armed are the places I am forbidden to be armed.
Exactly! Very well said.
Yeah but what fun would it be without snarky/sarcastic comments?
It was pretty good but the mod pulled my post and my memory sucks. Basically, it was:
1. “Taking ‘aim’ at guncontrol.” Suggesting violence against anti-gunners like the momunists and bloomin’ idjits?
2. “Defend against a tyrannical govt?” Suggesting a violent coup?
3. “Getting her 3 year old intersted in shooting when he come of age?” Family services may be paying her a visit.
Wow, finally an American Olympian I can support! heh...
Do they televise the shooting sports?
My condolences to you.
If only one of these days Baltimore, instead of clogging the Maryland bowl, could learn how to flush itself down the toilet.
I thought Time had died! The last time saw a copy it looked like a travel brochure with about as many pages!
I survived, as you can see. Caught a Frederick Keys game on the way home. That was fun.
Ginny Thrasher (won Gold Medal in air rifle a few days ago) was asked about gun control, too.
She responded with a smile that it had nothing to do with her sport.
Time’s time was up long ago. Irrelevant, irresponsible and irritating are they.
Oh yes it does, it’s 12 foot pounds max before classified as a firearm in many European countries. WAY better here though, no limits (but physics) and full auto and suppressors aren’t regulated for them.
