Default Article Linking Aurora Shooting to Olympics

There's an article on Fox Sports.com linking the tragedy in Colorado to the shooting sports in the Olympics. http://msn.foxsports.com/olympics/sh...lympics-072612 The author seems to feel that the US shooters need to justify their interest in shooting sports in light of the tragedy. I find this linkage disgusting.
I posted a comment, feel free to do the same...

I just read the article. It’s ludicrous that a responsible gun owner, who enjoys the shooting sports, who obeys the law and who practices good gun safety should need to justify anything.

What, no demand that NASCAR drivers defend their sport in light of DUI deaths?
