These are ABC News videos showing the human tendency to fail when suddenly confronted with gun violence.

Why is it that everyday people focused on doing their jobs, tending to families, or enjoying entertainment think they can suddenly snap into being Jason Bourne or Rambo in a flash?

You are kidding yourself if you think your sporadic gun training against a static cardboard target is sufficient to neutralize an armor wearing maniac with automatic weapons.

You are not Dirty Harry. You are a regular person whose mind is engaged in real life while the maniac takes you by surprise. Fantasizing about being Rambo does not mean you can shoot at a predator without killing innocent bystanders.

Let’s be realistic.

Matt Damon plays Jason Bourne in the movies but that doesn’t mean that Matt Damon could defend himself in real life if attacked by surprise.
