In those vids the assailant has the muzzle of the weapon against the victim. Yes that would be easy to counter, but I don't believe you have a four foot reach before some one shoots you. I'll need proof of that.

Oh, and I recalculate based upon just 1987 to 1991, and it still does not work out to the figures you quoted. I apologize for my error, but regardless by accident I analyzed a larger and more meaningful period of time anyway so my effort was not wasted.
I did not lie, it was my source that was faulty. Is the state calculation incorrect? I would assume that would be the more meaningful statistic.

To mug a person who knows martial arts you need two people. One points the gun from a safe distance or inside a car and the other clears the wallet. I've had cause to read a lot of police reports.
Please cite them, otherwise that is complete bolognia powered by TV that always stereo-types Oriental martial arts that it makes people super-human.

And when I said Jujitsu and taekwondo were similar, I was referring to how they clear weapons. Jujitsu is more about wrestling and some of it I have not seen before, but other things I am familiar with.
They taught it when I took Karate for five years. After that I taught myself Kendo so don't talk down to me like I know nothing of martial arts. When I first began martial arts I thought the same way, with experience I find martial arts has been incredibly dramatized by pop culture.

Earlier during the argument of crimnals having illegal weapons I could easily have given you a personal experience on purchasing illegal weapons. I did not, please refrain from using unproven personal experiences in a debate.
