Can't we petition and get the NRA and HBSA and all the other national bodies to kick-off?
Or better yet, lets fight back. Start something to say that archery needs banning and so does spear throwing or "javelins" as they're called. Swimming needs to go, 'cos you can drown in water and the discus too, because, lets face it, that's a heavy, spinning decapitation device.

Careful, they are trying to ban Archery in Australia. All cross bows are now under license the same as firearms.

Ripped from another forum -
If you wish to contact Boris Johnson you can email:
mayor@london.gov.uk
- but please also provide your postal address in the email.
Let the London 2012 Olympic Committee (LOCOG) know what you think here:

I have also emailed that idiot Danny Bryan to ask him to expand on his quote about glorifying guns :evil: :evil:

Ironic, since the foundation of the Olympic games was exactly the practice of warrior skills. They didn't have Olympic Ballroom Dancing back then.
I wonder if the ancient Greeks had issues with youths and spear violence due to the glorification of the javelin?

Communist fcklwits.. Time the Olympics were relegated to the past anyway...too much PC nonsense involved and a colossal squandering of money by the Bliar regime at the time...
Seb Coe's throat must be real sore with all the head he's been giving...Our shooters should pull out en masse on the line in full media view and make it clear WHY they did so. time to show the Olympic legacy for the crock of processed digestive waste that it is.
Won't happen of course...

If our shooters win anything, will they have the medal ceremony behind closed doors? (I hope they win plenty and give a traditional two finger salute on the podium :55: )
Won't let the kids watch but will want the medals

Let us know if the muppet replies. I doubt he will, though. Being the ignorant little toad that he is.
