New day, new shooting the US. 14 kids killed in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. The debate will rise up for a bit again, there'll be protests, there'll be people saying "enough is enough" and "now we really need to do something" and by the time the weekend comes around, it's only a 60-second segment at the end of the news.

The National Association for Gun Rights does. And they of course have the answer: even more guns equals fewer gun-related deaths :cheer:

It appears the next step for USA is allowing 13 year olds to carry weapons into school at this rate. GOP won't do anything about it and Democrats are too scared to strike down the 2nd Amendment so nothing will change anytime soon :coffee:

Schools would be a lot safer if every student aged 10 and above has at least a pistol next to their chairs and gets monthly shooting drills teaching how to aim and such. From 15 years old, of course the pistols will be replaced by or supplemented with full-size hunting rifles. Obviously the teacher gets an assault rifle and, needless to say, everyone will be wearing bulletproof vests and helmets (obviously) at any moment inside the school buildings.

I never heard about it either but I know you have at least half a brain so I knew you wouldn’t be saying this seriously :d

    • Yes, the Africa Cup is counted, but I mean the Americup will be removed before the end of the qualification period (1 December 2027). Because the event finished before 1 December 2025.
    • It is already counted. Madagascar has won both men's and women's tournaments.
    • I think the 2025 Africa Cup will be counted in the Olympic ranking because it was played on December 5-7, while ther Americup was played on November 27-30 so it should not be counted, right?   The ranking cut-off is 1 December 2027 and the events of the last 2 years are counted, so I think the Americup 2025 will be cut.

Also probably first time, where realistic there is only one sport with full medal chances (ski jumping). There are always small chances with likes of Hrobat (DH), Kranjec (GS), Štuhec (DH), our snowboarders or in biathlon relays. But to be honest, at least two or three medals in ski jumping would be just fine, to continue tradition winning medals at Winter Olympics, last Games without any medal were in Torino 2006.    Beijing 2022: 42 athletes Pyeongchang 2018: 71 athletes Sochi 2014: 66 athletes,...
