Australian Olympic swimmers ordered to take down gun photo.

Maybe the swimming org. should try to sanction her.

That look of determination on her face, was Camilla downrange?

No you can tell it isn't - otherwise there would be a queue forming behind her for a turn lol

Isn't shooting an Olympic sport?

Not only that, it's an Olympic sport for it's military aspect, much like the Second Amendment isn't about hunting, either.

Ironic government officials want to take down the gun photos, too, and are willing to use real men with guns to make sure it happens.

The Second Amendment is totally about hunting! ....Redcoats through the woods. But still, that's hunting. And if the British ever come back with their weird pronunciation and Tardises and Mrs Slocombe's pussy, we'll be ready. Yes, I'm free, Mrs Slocombe. Free to fill you with lead if you don't back away from my property. Nice and slow! No sudden moves. And I'm unanimous in that.

This issue is stupid and this whole thing is either Swimming Australia overreacting or a cynical ploy to get the public on the side of these two people who've had shadier pasts.

Well, no. The second amendment is about the federal government taking over state debts. I can't imagine it would have anything to do with hunting.

That is absolutely insane. Those guys are completely out of their minds. At least the Australian insanity seems to be isolated to the swimming organization and the Herald Sun. Lol.

I think they're talking about the US amendment, which I think has something to do with keeping bear arms.

And Parliament...........Australian politicians are well on par with their American counterparts

 

[Legend]

Good lord, no, MG1962.

 

[This is The End]

My favorite line from the article:

D'Arcy was pictured holding semi-automatic pistols, similar to those used by Virginia Tech gunman Cho Seung-Hui.

No agenda here

Today I prepared dinner using a couple of knives. Similar to those used by infamous murderer Jack the Ripper.

 

[UnrepentantSinner]

Curious. Did these sensitive souls at the swimming organization tell Thorpe that he couldn't be the Thorpedo? Isn't that even worse than a mere gun - it's a WMD. Or were they too busy not worrying about him doping to not worry about the oh-so-important image of Swim Australia?

No. Torpedos are anti-vessel weapons and don't deliver any NBC payloads (there was a nuclear torpedo back in the 60s, but it was for anti-submarine warfare, not a WMD either.

 

[Dragoonster]

This entire thing is utterly ridiculous.

I read the original article after seeing the seemingly innocuous pic and kept waiting for what was actually wrong with it, looking forward to reading a real controversy and being outraged by it and hating these horrible human beings. But the punchline wasn't...

..."posing with guns in the exact fashion of Nazis"
..."while flashing gang signs"
..."prior to using those guns to murder people"

There was no punchline. The entire issue (outside of equally utterly ridiculous internal Australian affairs) is that these two held guns, in their hands, and were photographed doing so. WHAT THE ****.

I did the same thing. I then proceeded to condemn the entire population of Australia for the stupidity of such an article. Luckily some of the posters on here corrected me and said that all of the whackos have been stashed away in the Herals Sun and Swimming organization. Oh and apparently parliament too...
