if it takes you 20 shots to neutralize a threat at point-blank, I don't think you should be allowed to own a gun

Fun thing in Australia, you don't need to be able to hit a target to get a gun licence. Licences tests are more focused on firearm safety.

I'd say being able to hit an intended target and not just praying and spraying is part of firearm safety. Errant bullets can cause a lot of damage. It's been over a decade since I've owned a firearm but it wasn't for nothing that one of the four fundamental rules of firearm safety I was taught is "be sure of your target and what's behind it".

I’ve been taught “treat, never, keep, keep” as the four rules. How do yours go?
