    This is so offensive. Everybody dumping on the US for not doing well in the shooting events forgets that when it really matters, the USA comes out on top, not like in these meaningless, staged competitions. In the real world, nobody beats the USA. If those paper targets were an unarmed black women in her kitchen, or an unarmed black child running away, or an unarmed black man with both hands on the steering wheel at a traffic stop, you could bet your ass they’d be headshots.

      They have fencing, and dueling isn’t against the law in Canada ( they removed the prohibition but they will charge you under other laws)

    I now can’t stop thinking about a particular George Carlin bit about fencing off one of the shittier states and just dropping all the rapists, killers, and drug addicts into it, giving them all weapons, and then filming the resulting carnage.

    i mean have you seen most american gun enthusiasts? there’s a reason why the “good guy with a gun” thing never works out; because they can’t aim for shite.
