    IIRC for a some handguns this could actually work as long as you are actively pushing. Because if the barrel moves back a bit it will be out of battery blocking it from even firing.

      I believe that’s correct; but it’s not all handguns, only a very, very few. Any handgun that’s gas operated (and there are, like, five) is definitely still going to fire.

    I think the important thing is to convince the person with the gun that the barrel will explode and kill them, not whether it does explode or not. That was what James Gardner did in the movie Support you local Sheriff.

    This is so flawed it isn’t even funny.

    You need way more than 1,000,000 fingers. This is America after all. Even if you use all ten fingers, that’s only like 9.9 million guns.

    Maybe it’s less about the need to be the smartest person in the room and more about peddling dangerous disinformation?

    This is literally how the Republican party in the USA functions, by purposefully being so brain-dead that we spend all our time explaining why they’re wrong and they just happily keep doing stupid fucking shit and expect us to protect them from themselves all the while. The Republicans regularly villainize “smart” people, the educated, academia, and “the ivory tower.” They hate facts and evidence. So now being smart enough to try to stop stupid people from being stupid is a bad thing, huh?

    It’s not funny or clever, it’s literally the same attitude behind conservatives trying to upset liberals. They would happily eat a pile of shit if they knew a liberal had to smell their breath. It’s fucking insipid and stupid and in no way is funny or cute or what the fuck ever. There’s zero ideology behind it except trying to upset other people, because they’ve got nothing the fuck else in their lives.

    I don’t care if it’s a joke, they’re scum. It’s a “joke” in the same way “it was just a joke bro” comes from Nazis.

    We literally had people eating parasite-killing horse-paste during COVID instead of taking actual fucking vaccines directed at the disease, and that happened because of bullshit exactly the fuck like this.

    A lot of people in that thread have never seen Looney Tunes. If they did, they would have learned 3 vital facts about physics:

    1. A finger in the barrel of a gun will stop a bullet and cause the gun to explode.

    2. Gravity cannot effect you until you acknowledge that you are not on solid ground.

    3. Being crushed by a heavy object falling from a great height (think and anvil or piano) will cause to to collapse like an accordion until you are re-inflated.

    These are basic scientific facts everyone should know in the modern age.
