Congrats Guns.com commenters, you have won today’s prize for “Dumbest gun related shit I’ve herd today.”

From yesterday’s article Olympics drops several historic shooting events for 2020.

The group on Friday announced they agreed with changes proposed by the International Shooting Sports Federation, the governing body for Olympic-style shooting, that aims toward a larger goal to boost female participation while appealing to more youth.

“The fascinating new events that we approved today, together with the five new sports that were added to the Tokyo 2020 programme last year, represent a step-change in the Olympic programme,” said IOC President Thomas Bach.

In are new youth-focused and urban-based additions such as Basketball 3×3 and BMX Freestyle, on top of Sport Climbing and Skateboarding while traditional sports such as Canoe, Judo, Rowing, Sailing, Shooting and Weightlifting will become gender balanced.

The upside of the plan for the shooting sports: the Tokyo games will see new Trap Mixed Gender Team, 10m Air Rifle Mixed Gender Team, and 10m Air Pistol Mixed Gender Team events.

The downside: to make room, the IOC will remove the current Men’s Double Trap, Men’s 50m Rifle Prone, and Men’s 50m Pistol events.

OK.  So the IOC cut some shooting sports and added others.

The issue seems to be that they’ve decided to adopt some CoEd shooting sports.

They say never read the comments.  I read the comments.

I’m not sure what this rant has to do with anything?

Well done racist asshole.

Racism and needlessly anti-Snowflake at the same time.

Way to make the gun community look bad fuckers.

Here’s my unfettered opinion.  I shot 25m rapid fire pistol way back in the day.  I am the proud owner of a Walther GSP.  You stand there and shoot 5 bullseyes in 8 seconds.  Then wait.  Then repeat.

My dad, god rest his soul, was into that sort of thing.

It’s tough.

50m pistol is even more boring.  You stand there and shoot bullseyes with a single shot .22 pistol.  You have over an hour to do it.

Here’s the thing.  We suck at it.  We haven’t taken a medal in 50m pistol since the 1950’s.  It’s Commie shooting.  It’s the type of shooting that is so detached from anything related to combat that Europansy nations allow their civilians to go to ranges and do it.  Lately, it has been the Chinese dominating the sport with their factory farmed Olympians.

If the goal of the change was, according to Guns.com:

Moving towards being “more youthful, more urban, and more women” the International Olympic Committee approved a host of changes to the shooting sports for the upcoming Tokyo Games.

The IOC should have moved to making IPSC and 3-Gun Olympic events.  Those are growing sports that are fun to watch and to participate in.

More importantly, we could start kicking ass at the Olympics in the shooing sports again.

Make IPSC an Olympic Event.  Then send Jerry Miculek, Rob Leatham, Travis Tomasie, and Taran Butler to represent Team USA.

It will be the 1992 Dream Team all over again, where we beat every other nation by a solid 50 points.

As to the CoEd aspect, so the fuck what?  Sure IPSC has a Ladies division.  IDPA and Rimfire Challenge don’t and I’ve never even thought about having a problem with that.  Hell, I want to see Julie Golob, Lena Miculek, and Gabby Franco mop the floor with some Eurowenie men.  It would be fun to watch.
