Holy Shit!! I think I stopped breathing While Scratch went at Shirley & Burt. I was on the edge of my seat and jumped with each whack of the hammer while white-knuckling the arms of my recliner. Great episode

Somebody get Burt some Viagra so he can seriously skull-fuck that bitch.

DISCLAIMER: No offense was made to the south paws (Is that how it's really spelled? Weird)

BUT. he was right handed. Scratch saw his affinity for the gun and how he used it in Ch 6.
Actually I have tried writing left handed. I can't do it very well, but I could do it if I had to.

So true. Admittedly shooting left handed is a skill I need to improve on. Whenever I can get some range time, it's at the top of my list, well right under shooting a few guns I've never fired.

Plus, Burt judges his self-worth on his ability to shoot -- just look back to when he got the shakes for a week. Taking away his trigger finger isn't just making it harder for him to survive, it's essentially taking away his "manhood" (even more, it's the one piece of his body that fits into the symbol of his wife, Shirley). This episode was just brilliant writing, and Lizzy would have a field day analyzing this stuff.
Well stated.

She did say the guns in the van were a second secret stash. We also know she had a secret stash in the basement of the tower. When the tower was over-run, it wasn't an issue of lack of weapons, just not enough time to get them.
