Guns don’t kill guns. People kill guns.
Something like that.
For some reason that reminded me of this game:

Just jump off a bridge.
Jumping off a bridge is an awfully slow death for a hand-gun; It could take years to rust out. Being run over by a train would work, but might derail the train.
I love this comic. It inspires me to think such deep thoughts.
Given a reflection, is the angle of incidence necessarily equal to the angle of reflection in a collision of bullet and surface?
This is *exactly* what microsoft had in mind when they named their new search engine. I’m sure of it.

Given that bullets aren’t perfectly spherical and will deform when they hit a surface, I’d say it’s quite likely that angle of incidence won’t match angle of reflection. And get any spin on it and you’ll really have fun.
The whole point of rifling, for example, is to spin the bullet for aerodynamic stability. That makes it fly straight. I imagine, though, if that spinning bullet grazed something, it’d cause the bullet to veer to one side from its current path.
wow, that gun has to be suicidal and have a can do spirit at the same time
Dear Francesco,
None of us at the NRA appreciated your strip attached above telling your readers that guns kill guns. Further, you conveyed the wrong information to your readers. People kill guns.
Here at the NRA, we never take ‘pot shots’ (ahem) at comic artists and we always wish them the best with their work. We feel that it is not good for us to tell the millions of happy gun users, both in newspapers and comics to boycott another your property. Immature actions like that are just bad for our entire industry.
