Sarcasm is an adjusted stress reaction.

I gotta say this - I deeply appreciated that Amy was *terrible* with that gun. It broke the three big cliches of TV:

1) All Americans come out guns blazing at every opportunity. (Although plenty of guns were waved, no American character actually fired a single shot.)

2) Anyone who pulls a gun automatically knows how to use it with complete accuracy.

3) Guns never, ever go off by accident//people can't fire unintentially.

It's a kids show, so Amy wasn't allowed to actually shoot anyone in the foot (or anywhere else), but yeah. They aren't toys and they aren't props and you have to learn how to use them safely.
