Why are shooting sports still allowed at the Olympics? [View all]
 
You would think that in this day and age, when gun nuts are responsible for hundreds of thousands if not millions of deaths around the world each year, anything glorifying firearms would be struck from an international event such as the Olympics.

Yes, those "millions" who are killed by Joe gun owner every year are probably voting for Hillary... as in, they don't exist.
Man these people are delusional. I see he didn't ask why muslims are allowed to participate in the olympics... imagine that.

Because it is a sport, you dumbass.  Shooting is a sport in college as well. West Virginia University excels at it and they recruit people from all over the world. 

Kinda bursts your little communist bubble, don't it?

Our local high school has a trap shooting team as well as a pistol shooting team.  I'm surprised some liberals haven't tried to shut it down.

A perfect score? With NO range practice?

140. He can not posses a firearm.

As he used to be an armed robber, by his own confession.

Because only the left goes searching for that which is not there in a desperate attempt to be offended about something.
