Because of Clint Eastwood, Dirty Harry and the model 29 44 magnum revolver that he was always slingin' around, that's why.
This stuff still makes me laugh when I read it.
You gotta just love this stuff....
"Dirty Harry" Callahan, fictional investigator in the Dirty Harry movies, played by Clint Eastwood
I know what you're thinking. 'Did he fire six shots or only five?' Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?
Opening scene in Dirty Harry, 1971
Chief: Callahan, you've been transfered to Personnel.
Callahan: Personnel? That's for *******s.
Chief: I worked in Personnel for 10 years!
Callahan: You're proving my point.
Callahan: May I make a statement, McKay?
McKay: What?
Callahan: Your mouthwash ain't makin' it.
Callahan: Well, we're not just gonna let you walk out of here like that.
Hood: Who's we sucker?
Callahan: Smith, Wesson, and me.
Chief: That's it Callahan you just got yourself a 60 day suspension.
Callahan: Make it 90!
Chief: 180! Give me your star.
Callahan: Here's a seven point suppository.
Chief: What did you say?
Callahan: I said stick it in your azz!
More Classic quotes from Clint...
"You f--- with me buddy and I'll beat you so hard you'll have to unbutton your collar to sh-t!"
"Go ahead. Make my day."
"A man 's got to know his limitations."
"Why don't you boys go suck some fishheads?"
"I'm coming down there in 5 minutes, and when I get down there you'd better have those files ready you pencil pushing son of a b-tch!"
"You're a legend in your own mind."
Clint Eastwood (Harry Callahan): Well, when an adult male is chasing a female with intent to commit rape, I shoot the bastard. That's my policy.
John Vernon (The Mayor): Intent? How did you establish that?
Clint Eastwood (Harry Callahan): : When a man is chasing a woman through an alley with a butcher's knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross!
"Nothing wrong with shooting...as long as the right people get shot."
Dirty Harry
Clint on Gun control...
"I have strong feelings about gun control. If there's a gun around, I want to be controlling it."
