Sounds like my former coworker showing off his new gun on Facebook a few years back, with the post "I can't wait to use this to defend my family."

People like to think that because they own a gun, if they ever got to use it they would be John Wick.

What they don't realize is that Keanu Reeves does a ton of training, and even occasionally does competitions

I think nearly everyone in the firearms community realizes how much time and effort Keanu puts into training.

I think the opposite is more true; meaning that people OUTSIDE the firearms community have little to no idea how much time and effort it takes to be anything like what he looks like in the movies. Nor do they realize how far removed the movies they watch are from reality. Suppressors are not silent, shooting things 50 yards away with a pistol is almost always going to result in a miss, your ears are ringing after just one or two shots making conversations after a gun battle impossible, and so on.
