Aha! That's it! American attitudes to guns are explained by the theory that they consider the handle end to be the effective one. A little confused,I'd say.

Not exactly FDA-approved, and definitely not currently covered by Medicare (and unlikely to ever be):

Well, that's a slight relief (as it was when I learned that it is, at best, a matter of interpretation whether anyone was ever shot in Dallas for jaywalking). But the idea that the question should even be raised...!
