Untrue. Just requires training. If it was 9mm I know how to jam the web of my hand preventing the arms from being fired. I also know how to disassemble it instantly. If I can angle his wrist properly I can use the gun in his hand as a weapon against him by smashing it onto a counter crushing bones in his hand. Joint manipulation techniques and quick reflexes aren't something human beings are born knowing. It takes training but that training far exceeds the ability of morons thinking they can bully their way through life. They're inherently at a disadvantage. What's more, every use of force they attempt to use leaves them vulnerable. Once they display themselves as criminals you already have their #.

I have respect and admiration for those that have mastered a martial art. I still believe it is fortunate that no one was shot. A person skilled with a firearm would not have let him in that close.
