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 mean, that's how it should be. Just like getting drivers license requires you to demonstrate you can drive safely, so should a firearms license.

Drive safely and not hit things even.

So, like the gun test.

In my country we’re required to set an acceptable lap time around the local racetrack.
