"There is no reason to hold the gun sideways. It doesn't help your aim, it doesn't make the bullet go any faster, so why the hell do it? Because it looks friggin' awesome, that's why.

Maybe it shows that the killer is just so laid back and cool that he doesn't even need to point the gun up all the way, like, 'Fuck you, you're not even worth using the sight on this gun.'"
