God forbid they want to cut down on unnecessary noise and discharge from actual firearms. No, it’s not “manly” enough.

    True, blue-blooded, masculine American™ shooting is nothing like the homosexual Olympics. Where are the Asian, Muslim, indigenous, and/or Slavic targets? Where are the schoolchildren targets? I bet none of these athletes have even shot unarmed black people before… smh

    /s of course

      So all of Greece’s enemies?

      “Our scouts reported that this Alexander ““the Great”” was seen kissing another man, and he has a weak navy, he will never conquer Tyre” - Phonecian commander, 340 BC

      “We are the first Legion of Rome, this Pyrrhus and his army of homosexuals cannot defeat us” Roman commander, right before facing the undefeated Pyrrhus*

    Since this gun is so gay I am sure this guy wouldn’t mind being shot at with it. He sounds like a tough dude.

    You know, for some strange reason my mind went to “Oh, are they upset about glorifying gun violence or something? Kind of a weird take for the US bu-oh. Of course, it just isn’t enough gun.”

    As long as the form factor and mechanics are the same, why should it matter? These people would just have a fit if they see what electric cellos and violins look like.

      If Mongolians complained that Olympic archery is rigged because it doesn’t take place against moving targets from horseback, that would be a more serious grievance than “guns woke”.

    Maybe if they’d make the target the form of a child they’d be better at it

      Yeah, but I would think having a raging boner on the podium is against the rules. Against decorum at least.

      You gotta cut them some slack, it was unfamiliar territory. If the event take place inside a school, it’d be a different story.

      Guarantee the cope is that if they used big manly American guns, it would’ve been easy

    Bet my left eye Aetius hasn’t been to the range once yet this year and probably has a hot one in the chamber as we speak.
