One person even noted how kids fingers are smaller and most adult’s fingers wouldn’t fit in the barrel… lol. That’s what the pinky is for, it’s smol for a reason, duh.
Pretty sound reasoning here.

You’re not getting your pinky in an AR-15 barrel. .2 inch or half a centimeter basically.
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
I mean we can simply let the kids handle the .22s, and adults like myself can stop the .45s and shotguns

Obligatory reminder that change.org has literally never accomplished social good, but it has made plenty of profit by selling harvested contact information and social connection information to advertisers.

I like the sound of that.

At least one american got an aneurysm reading that
Professorozone@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
This is so flawed it isn’t even funny.
You need way more than 1,000,000 fingers. This is America after all. Even if you use all ten fingers, that’s only like 9.9 million guns.
spicytuna62@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Love you accounted for the fact that if you rounded up a bunch of randos, statistically, some of them may be missing a finger or two.
Professorozone@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Thank you. Nuance, you know.
jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
What about double barreled shotguns? Those are each going to require two fingers. I’m beginning to think the creators of this change.org petition haven’t really thought this through.
starman2112@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Yeah unfortunately the only flaw in this plan is that they’re simply aren’t enough fingers for all the guns

I’m torn on this one.
Part of me is convinced that just putting a flower in the barrel would stop all war. Then I’ll make sure to put it in my hair before going to San Francisco, even though I totally forgot the first time.
Another part of me believes that I’m gonna have to solve the problem by getting so high on red agave shrooms that I can’t feel the bullet and thus become an invincible berserker. Might sack York too, if there’s time.

I think the important thing is to convince the person with the gun that the barrel will explode and kill them, not whether it does explode or not. That was what James Gardner did in the movie Support you local Sheriff.
bluewing@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
One of my favorite westerns of all time!
CptBread@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
IIRC for a some handguns this could actually work as long as you are actively pushing. Because if the barrel moves back a bit it will be out of battery blocking it from even firing.
HelixDab2@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
I believe that’s correct; but it’s not all handguns, only a very, very few. Any handgun that’s gas operated (and there are, like, five) is definitely still going to fire.

You cannot block bullets, unless you touch them first. See master Ken demonstrate: www.youtube.com/shorts/Nd_2DGPaQ4U

SuperNinjaFury@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
The finger would stop it
turddle@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
ya cuz easier cuz the hole is bigger so you can use a bigger finger to stop bullet better
SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Maybe it’s less about the need to be the smartest person in the room and more about peddling dangerous disinformation?
This is literally how the Republican party functions, by purposefully being so brain-dead that we spend all our time explaining why they’re wrong and they just happily keep doing stupid fucking shit and expect us to protect them from themselves all the while.
Enkers@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
No, the finger would stop it.
tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
Because it’s smooth in every direction.
This is known.
jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
We can do this.
todd_bonzalez@lemm.ee 3 weeks ago
You misunderstand. The bullet would get to the finger and stop.
dwindling7373@feddit.it 3 weeks ago
The dude was basically engaging with an Onion article. You can’t save everybody.
JaymesRS@literature.cafe 3 weeks ago
Sure, but at some point you need to acknowledge that though you can lead a horse to water, you can’t stick their hoof in the barrel of a gun to stop a bullet.
WorkIsSlow@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
If the barrel is big enough for the hoof to fit snuggly it’ll stop the bullet.
HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
But the bullet would stop though because of the finger.

Looney toons = Nazi misinformation
silasmariner@programming.dev 3 weeks ago
I think it’s probably fair to say that suggesting that a finger in the barrel of a gun would stop a bullet is a least 10x, if not 100x, worse than the Nazis.

Is this a critique on lemmy
TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
A lot of people in that thread have never seen Looney Tunes. If they did, they would have learned 3 vital facts about physics:
A finger in the barrel of a gun will stop a bullet and cause the gun to explode.
Gravity cannot effect you until you acknowledge that you are not on solid ground.
Being crushed by a heavy object falling from a great height (think and anvil or piano) will cause to to collapse like an accordion until you are re-inflated.
These are basic scientific facts everyone should know in the modern age.
spicytuna62@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Everyone knows William Hanna and Joseph Barbera were physicists first and animators/cartoonists second.
Kalkaline@leminal.space 3 weeks ago
Incredibly, they actually drew their cartoons based on observations in nature. The duck season/rabbit season bit commonly seen in the Bugs and Daffy cartoons, while exaggerated was based on true events.
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Award winning and physicists.
Fox@pawb.social 3 weeks ago
What’s hilarious about this is that obstructed barrels actually can explode into ribbons just like the cartoons. A finger might not do it though, and not sure how many volunteers you’d get for a scientific test.
