A Matter of Degrees

The topic of demographics came up recently. (You probably can't image in relation to what.) It lead me to this Wikipedia page on Educational Attainment in the US.

I knew a large chunk of folks had a college degree (~30%), but I was surprised that Master's and up was about 12%.

As a newbie, I don't really appreciate their other "Gun Gripe" videos.

And I am sure they get lots of jerks and/or idiots darkening their doors.

However, I really liked this video. I bet I've fired revolvers less than 25 times, so this video did help me learn something.
