A buddy of mine went JAG in the Army and posted on FB recently his target from the range
He's kind enough to post, too:
Q. Tell a joke
A. JAG Officers at the range
True to form, it was like a 3 inch group on a 25-meter zeroing target. C'mon.
For people who aren't familiar with the military or what is a good grouping, this is entirely opaque.
who hasn't seen JAG
come on
Gee idk Abdy this is all very confusing and I missed this show that ran for 10 years and spawned a dozen spinnoffs so I'm missing the necessary cultural context
Some days Blue wonders why anyone ever bothered making numbers so small; other days she supposes even infinity needs to start somewhere.
Guns are fucking awesome tho but carrying around one shooting people makes you a shitter
ok but what if you carry around one and probably never shoot anyone but if you do it's to prevent someone from severely harming you
still more likely to use that gun on yourself than this someone harming you!
i am never gonna shoot myself. if i ever decide to go i'm gonna pay someone to facesit me to death.
well you might not do it on purpose
the chances of me doing it not on purpose are minuscule. it is one of those things for which there will probably never be statistics granular enough to be interesting. 'everyone, regardless of upbringing or training' is something useful for broad policy. drilling deeper makes it anyone's guess, really.

your use of granular
I could go for a bowl of granular with milk and fruit

My only response to that would be that I would find it terrifying to live in a place where that's a considerable possibility
But I know that's just privilege talking, so I can't really judge
The hard part for narwhal's is finding gun manufacturers who make guns small enough for them to carry.
Excuse me, we average 4 to 5 meters in length, sir.
It's the lack of appropriate extremity to hold the gun / pull the trigger that does us in :P

Chu's saying because your average person is more likely to shoot themselves than someone else doesn't mean that he specifically is more likely to shoot himself than someone else, and that his specific case is a question we will probably not ever have the data to argue

p much true of every time someone tries to apply a broad trend to an individual

This is what literally every gun owner says though
Same thing with seat belts

i mean i am not arguing here, except perhaps that the latest comments are trending into uncivil territory and people should not argue guns in chat
just i thought chu's claim was clear and therefore felt qualified to try and explain it a different way since people seemed not to follow

EDIT: both scenarios
*nods, updates living will*
I'd even be okay with an argument against banning handguns on that basis
My issue is people conflate the public health argument with a positive rights argument all the time, half of it in bad faith

that ain't no bug
Oh, in FONV?
Then no.

Yeah, that happens in real life if you hit the person hard enough
Seen it in football a couple times, hockey too
what you mean by more granular statistics
or digging deeper
ayyyyyyyyyyy
Things are gonna get weird, Apothe0sis.

a toddler a week dies from gun accidents and the parent probably thinks their gun is going to only be used to protect their family
thankfully Chu doesn't have a toddler so open up the armory!
Ehhhhhhh, sit on it!
