    There’s loads of people who have no idea how guns work. It’s somewhat specialized knowledge.

        It’s literally that xkcd geologist cartoon, where they think the average person knows the chemical formula for feltzbar and quartz. Everyone vastly overestimates the average person’s knowledge level for areas they themselves already understand.
