I guess you're under the impression that we never turn out the lights at the ranges. Most instructors do that day one to show students what a real life scenario is likely to be like. Our advanced courses, for which I run the servers, include smoke machines, loud poppers strobes, and effects that would make Hollywood drool to more accurately simulate real life scenarios. Since you're obviously an anti-gun nut and therefore would never take any training, how about just admit to yourself that you have no clue what any of the courses are like?

I guarantee you at ten yards I can put a double shot to the head in the dark if the perp stops to reload with his back to me, and I SUCK compared to most people I've shot with. Many, many people could run that drill at 25 yards or more without a problem. If the seven licensed people in the theatre all BARELY passed their competency test, the first guy might not do it, the second one might not, but one of the seven would.

You've decided the bad guy IS an action star. You realize you're assuming that no trained, licensed person is any match at all for the psycho who has stopped to reload and has his back to them. The bad guy had no trouble shooting anyone who tried to run. Exactly why do you think that one guy can shoot 40 people, many of them running, but seven guys can't shoot the one who us standing still? See how that makes no sense?

Stop for a minute and think. Your politics is asking you to believe that one bad guy automatically beats seven good guys. Think that through for a minute. I'm all for a strenous debate, but when you realize that arguing your position requires you to assert that one bad guy always beats seven good guys, it's time to pause and consider whether you're arguing for a belief that's based on actual experience and knowledge about the subject, or whether what Comedy Central told you to think just might be wrong.
