Right. And we all know how much gun ranges are like live-fire, active-shooter-with-bystander situations.

Here is an informative article: Do more than 7 in 10 police bullets miss their mark, as this gun control advocate said?

And a quote from the article: "The Rand study looked at NYPD firearm-discharge reports from from 1998 through 2006. Some of the findings point in Watts’ favor, while other data refutes her point.

"Hit ratios were below 30 percent for gunfights (18 percent) (IOW, not at all the same as firing ranges) and from long ranges (23 percent from more than seven yards away)."

It's amazing how being shot at reduces the accuracy of fire of even the best-trained shooters. The notion that the general public could do better is nothing short of absurd. You guys have taken a page from Individual 1 and are giving yourselves far too much credit.
