Very fitting, since for the most part, firearms are shown to be utterly useless on Buffy. :) They can only kill, they can't defeat.
Excellent point. I still get a chuckle at the thought of those NRA-types on the AV Club who howled in rage over Buffy's S6 line to the bank guard when she picks up his gun: "These? Never helpful." OMG morons, she's talking about in a particular context (fighting demons) and - hello! - foreshadowing!
there's no magical thinking, no mysterious ways to move in. Everything, including magic, hellgods, and mystical destinies, have a cause and an effect, and their moral consequences relate to how they affect others, not some preconceived notion of sin and virtue. Things, for the most part, don't Just Happen, and you can't wish the world better.
Well said - I can wrap my brain around that notion. (Have you written meta on this specifically? If not - *hint*)
