It's not blatantly false, it took the most famous master marksman of the revolutionary war three shots to hit a stationary target. Those weapons were imprecise, objectively speaking.

That law was added when guns were so imprecise it was difficult to hit the broadside of a barn from inside the barn.

How is that not blatantly false? Piss off troll.
