#38 At the Swordpoint

Did you own a gun?

Did you ever see the wrong end of the gun at the wrong time? Up, close and personal?
Many of those who did it, can't talk about it anymore.

I just saw a movie with more bullets than minutes, and wanted to show you how does it feel to be in front of the firing gun. Problem is that it shooting takes only a moment, and until it fires, gun is ‘just’ a potential danger, not showing its ugly face until the trigger is pulled.

This is why I settled for a sword here. If the business end of the sword is in front of your face, there is no question that you are in danger. Except… I took this exact same picture but without a hand holding it, and it was showing just a sword. With a hand on it – it was a weapon. Huge difference of a few blurry pixels.
Please, do not tell me that this proves that weapons don't kill people, because people do. I'm not buying that argument.
This proves that weapons and people are the problem when together. Separate them - and everybody should be happier.
