I wonder how much reaction time is used trying to decide which key to hit!

The "which key" decision is much harder than "pull trigger, or not" decision.

I think it's interesting that the creators seem to assume the decision-making is black-and-white. No gun = good guy. Gun = bad guy. Most of the guys looked like members of the Young Democrats Club. And where were the females?

I understand time may be a concern if we need to press the trigger, but I don't understand their rush to reholster.

The test has no other way of knowing when you made the decision not to shoot.
I agree it's not an accurate reflection of real life, where you always retain the option to shoot or hold fire.

That's a powerful point that I didn't even consider. It shows how easily humans can be manipulated, even those who feel they are pretty good at spotting propaganda.

I must say that I never even looked at the ethnicity of the person. I just was trying to figure out what was in their hand! I hope no one pulls a coke can on me!

Seems like a cladestine chicago type anti-gun game. Throw in the stats they will unevitably publish that we are all racists. Chicago is one of those towns I choose not to visit.
