#3 It is left to doctors and psychiatrists whether the willful use of a firearm 'gangsta style' is a symptom of that little-talked-about phenomenon 'Suicide By Cop.'

#4 Naaahhhh, FR - they're just stupid.

(As in, "Too stupid to live really should be a valid diagnosis.")

#5 The Nyte Sytes are good and all, but what the fashion conscious gang banger really needs are rear view shades. Looking back to fire slows one down too much and is prone to tripping and that's not cool. And the smart gang banger/drug dealer/rapster needs an extra pair of eyes to watch his back, even if it's his own.

#6 Hope you don't mind this from Chris Rock. NSFW.

#7 MAC-10? Jeez, that is SO 80s. Couldn't he have gotten at least a TEK-9 or other threatening-looking black gun? At least that way there would have been some rationale for further gun control. As it is, it was just portrayed as a garden-variety "cop shoots Times Square denizen" and just adds to the contempt of police instead of a larger issue.

#11 Hollywood and MTV very often get firearms wrong such as safety, use, and maintenance.

#13 BP - that has got to be the funniest thing I've heard today. Thanks for sharing that.

#14 Wait, I thought NYC and Mayor Bloomberg have outlawed privately owned weapons like that. How could this happen? /sarc off

'When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns' seems to fit well.

#15 I heard the side firing thing originally came about because of Israeli bodyguards and security. I'm not sure if it works for a particular kind of weapon or if that story is bogus or not.

I've tried firing gangsta style at the range and not only do I feel foolish but my accuracy plummets.

#16 "I've tried firing gangsta style at the range . . . but my accuracy plummets."

But did you look/feel cool, rj?

That's what really counts....
