While the attack on a regional center for the disabled by suspects Syed R. Farook, 28, and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, 27, quickly led to calls for enhanced gun control, Rhode, a five-time Olympian and three-time gold medalist, told USA TODAY Sports the horrific events of Wednesday did not alter her feelings regarding Second Amendment rights.

“The police do an incredible job and risk their lives every day. But they can only respond to these kinds of issues. I want to be able to protect myself in the interim before police get there.”

Kim's a class act and one heck of a shooter with multiple Olympic medals over the years

"I want to be able to protect myself in the interim before police get there.”

Absolutely! Thank you for speaking up, Kim Rhodes, and it is a feeling shared by people nationwide... including some of those in charge of law enforcement agencies.

Who here isn't familiar with Sherriff David Clarke's address nearly three years ago to citizens of the Wisconsin county he is sworn to serve and protect?

Thank goodness for those well-known like Rhodes who will take a stand and speak out. Thanks too for bringing this to our attention, oneounce.
