Seriously asking if this is correct. It’s been years since I took the course. I feel like toes perpendicular to the target provides less of a target. Amirite? I’ll eat crow if not.

Yeah, I usually have my left foot ahead of my right, staggered, just feels better for recoil. Lena Miculek and her dad have a bunch of videos about stuff like this as competitive shooters. Good stuff. Now back to memes....

In 2020, the leading cause of death among children ages one through 18 involved a firearm. There were 3,219 such deaths in 2020, followed by motor vehicle traffic deaths, of which there were 2,882.

Hang on. 1-18?

quote:
Firearms were also the leading cause of death for children and teens ages 1 to 19, taking the lives of 4,357 young people, they wrote.

So 19 year olds were responsible for ~1500 of the deaths?

quote:
Rockefeller and Johns Hopkins researchers said that when analyzing the leading causes of death among "children," infants are typically not included because of certain fatal conditions unique to children under a year old. If infants are included, rankings of the leading causes of death for children up to age 18 change. Congenital abnormalities are the leading cause of death in infants, and surpass the number of firearm deaths among all children up to age 18. In 2020, there were 4,403 deaths from congenital abnormalities, 3,141 deaths from short gestation, or preterm birth and low birth weight, and 1,389 deaths from sudden infant death syndrome. There were 11 infant deaths caused by a firearm in 2020.

Boy, we should probably stop believing everything we read from the government.

The meme doesn’t say anything about what kind of target you’re shooting at.

It doesn’t say he’s shooting at another person with a gun.

Just enjoy the humor.

I know guys in plate carriers liked facing as it kept the plate toward return fire. I’m sure people use different techniques.
