Not to take anything anyway from the Olympic athletes who are incredibly talented at their sport, but their sport doesn't resemble the practical shooting of real guns.
There are actual competitons for that, such as the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) world shoots. The U.S. is much better represented in these: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPSC_Handgun_World_Shoots
Classic Americans, making up our own rules and sucking at following the rest of the world lol
True but it looks like the IPSC is international as well, and the most awards are held by a French man, so US kinda sucks a little at that too.
IPSC is common around the world.
This isn't about the facts. We're on Lemmy. It's about shitting on America, regardless if it makes any sense to.
To be fair, America deserves it.
When it makes sense, yes. When it doesn't make sense, no.
Imagine downvoting this, lmao
You must be new here. I defended the US. That's sure to get a few downvotes. Lol
US or not, the sentiment of "criticize X when it makes sense, don't when it doesn't" getting downvoted is hilarious to me.
We're the best in our own country!
It's everyone else who sucks at following our rules, buddy ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
