evidence: RIO DE JANEIRO — Kim Rhode won a bronze medal at the Rio Games on Friday. It marked the sixth consecutive Olympics in which she medaled, tying a record. This went generally unnoticed because Rhode shoots a gun for a living. [...] Instead, because she wields a shotgun, speaks out against gun control and says her 3-year-old son, Carter, is a Life Member of the National Rifle Association, Rhode – a three-time Olympic gold medalist with a silver and two bronzes to boot – is among the most polarizing athletes in Rio, drawing attention from worldwide media fascinated by the United States’ gun culture and serving as one of the most visible defenders of the Second Amendment. [...] She understands, or at least she tries to. The gun debate is going nowhere, and whatever direction it moves, the outcry will be fierce. Right there in the middle will be Kim Rhode, six-time medalist, one of the best Olympians the United States has known – and still doesn’t know.
