    How to explain to Americans: If You remove 3 bullets out of an Gen 4 Glock 26 9mm 12-Round magazine, that’s 1/4. If you remove 4 bullets, that’s 1/3. The police can shoot one more unarmed black man with 1/3 of the magazine than 1/4.

        No, the poor Americans will be confused by the inversion.

        First removing 1/3 (4 rounds) from a 12 round magazine leaving 2/3 (8 rounds) left … then switching to talking about how a 1/3 full magazine with its 4 rounds has more rounds left than the 1/4 mag with 3 rounds.

        They won’t be able to catch on, and are likely to respond with something along the lines of “But the one you took 1/3 out of has just 8 rounds left, and the 1/4 one has 9 rounds left, which is more. The 1/4 one is more.”

      How do you take a round… out? Is this like where I shoot in the air for holidays or gender reveal parties?

        No, that’s dangerous. You shoot toward the poor end of town, not just anywhere.
