People will believe what they want to believe when it comes to gun control. I think the article itself does a pretty good job with parody alone to make it’s point. The “red wire” comment was also a decent comedic analogy of what the argument for a “good guy with a gun” is.

If you don’t see their intended point already, then I don’t think I can explain it in any way that will help.

It seems their point is that the percentages are similar to success, so although the subject is different, the comparison still stands.

I’m sure people have been “the good guy with a gun” a number of times, but the chance of success and the risk of shooting an innocent factor into the continued use of that as an argument point against gun control.
