Game Theory and Guns

from Truth Unrestricted Hosted by Spencer

We assume that humans in these scenarios will act rationally, that they will act in a manner consistent with continuing their own life unimpeded by injury and with as much gain as possible. But as soon as they are irrational everything about the mathematics is worthless.
