Olympic Medal Winning “Shooter” Fires Back at Gun-Grabby Liberals

After Ginny Thrasher won the first gold medal of the 2016 Rio Olympics by setting a record score in the 10-meter air rifle final, the 19-year-old was trashed by gun-grabbing liberals on Twitter.

Another Olympic champ, Kim Rhode, a five-time Olympic medal-winning shooter, is blasting back at California’s new gun laws.

From The Guardian:

We just had six laws that were passed in California that will directly affect me. For example, one of them being an ammunition law. I shoot 500 to 1,000 rounds a day, having to do a background check every time I purchase ammo or when I bring ammo out for a competition or a match – those are very, very challenging for me.

The Guardian asked Rhode about gun control as a response to “mass shootings” and crime in general. Rhode responded:

When you look at these events that have been occurring, they’ve been occurring in some of the strictest gun law countries in the world. You have Paris, you have San Bernardino, which was actually in a gun-free zone, so, yeah, it’s actually something that you take into consideration.

For me personally, I realize the first responsibility of a police officer is to respond to an incident and for me personally, in that five minutes or 10 minutes or 20 minutes in some cases that it takes for them to get there, how do you want to stand there? I would rather have my second amendment right.
