So, words (whether spoken, sung, read) don't so much motivate
as
reflect. What they may do is provide some handy tips as to
method for a
motivation that already exists.
That's why the Emergency Rooms of big cities are full of
sociopathic
little triggerboys with unique facial damage -- from shell
casings
ejected into their eyes when they held their precious nines
parallel to
the ground, Hollywood style, instead of the way the pistols
were
designed. Movies didn't give them the desire to commit
homicide . . .
but they sure showed them "how."
Now that's a very interesting point, but it also raised a
question with
me: Can someone in law enforcement, emergency services or
with gun
knowledge tell me if this is accurate? I had read elsewhere
that it is
damned hard to shoot straight when holding a gun sideways,
but I had
never heard this. Also, where does the recoil throw a gun
when shot
this way? Does it throw it back into the shooter's
chest?
Just curious,
Mark
