"The instant power over life and death?" Guns don't give you that.

That's what it feels like.

It feels like an assassin's dream. Inelegant, perhaps, but effective. Brutally so. Pull the trigger, don't think... it's why I hated them, but now I have it in my own hand... it's powerful.

You have no idea what that power really feels like. A gun is just a weapon, a stupid killing device. What you think you're feeling comes from something more.

Oh, I've had power. I've had authority, but this is something purer. The ability to end a life just by a split second decision. It's not a political decision, it's not just a device. It has an almost magical quality to it, the way this feels. I could take down a wizard with this. My authority could never do that.

You don't get it. You never will.

Or maybe you don't. Maybe you just take these 'killing machines' for granted. Maybe you're looking for power that's far too complicated. This is pure, brute, force.

And it's freedom. Everyone's equal with one of these in their hands. Everyone's a killer waiting to happen.
