:madcomp: First, I
hate my computer sometimes. I hope this doesn't end up a double post because the thing lost the server or something like that when I tried to post last time. And . . . :@#$:
- No, I don't think there was a gun control issue going on in the episode. Maybe a sly reference, but I think it was just the way Jack wanted to do things. Or whatever.
- Yes, I think there's the chance that someone may get their hands on one of the guns, but I don't think Danielle (that's her name, right?) is the issue. She's kind of off on her own and not really an issue for the survivors. I think "the Others" are more of an issue. Or at least what the "Others" might be able to cause someone to do with one of those guns.
- I trust Jack's judgement with who he gave the guns to. They all had experience with firearms so they would be the people I would've given 'em to as well. Okay, so maybe I wouldn't have trusted Sawyer so much with a gun if I were on the island, but all things considered, since he's had experience with one, he would've gotten one regardless.
- As for the issue of Charlie and the firearm, well, I have to admit that I think he's had enough of guns for awhile. Now, if Claire's life were threatened again, I wouldn't trust Charlie anywhere near me with a gun. And like I said earlier, who knows what the "Others" could make someone innocent (even a little innocent, like Charlie) with one of those things.
I just had to make a list thingy since someone posted the directions for making one. And I hope that sentence made sense to someone because I'm sleepy right now and I don't know if it or any of the sentences above make total sense to me at this point in time. :blink:
