If the lasers go "pew pew" then I'm onboard!Once the rifles and pistols are neutered to "air only", the smart money is on a move to "lasers only".

I hope everyone remembers all the positive publicity that shooting got at this past Olympics. Remember when having fresh-faced Ginny get that first gold medal of the games in the ladies 10 meter air rifle event was splashed all over the news, repeatedly? And Kim Rhode even got her interview on the NBC studio couch, a privilege reserved for only the big-story folk.... if some more usual competitions could get televised it would do wonders for protecting 2A rights.
Letting the Olympics drop shooting is a step in the wrong direction.
Brevity is the soul of wit, I suppose, but sometimes a few more words are helpful.Too late. It's done.
Right. That was the situation when the petition was begun and when I started this thread.Free pistol is no longer an Olympic sport. Rapid fire and air pistol are the men's events. Sport pistol and air pistol are the women's events. Apparently the movement to give an equal number of events for both sexes is the reason 50 meter free pistol was killed. Now each have 2 events. If I understand correctly though just like standard pistol and centerfire pistol, free pistol will still exist in other international events. But not the Olympic Games.
