I know what adrenalin is. I also know that nobody, no matter how badass and how hyped on his own chemicals he is, is taking 20+ bullets and walking away, unless he's covered in armour and/or the vast majority of the shots hit his arms.

The first time I had dinner with my wife's family, back when we were dating, I let out one of those horrific silent nerve gas farts. I was fucking mortified - until her dad loudly blamed the dog. It wasn't until much later that I realised that he knew it was me and it was an act of kindness.

[edited because ad hominem, with apologies] Our elected officials always walk a line between representing us and leading us. If it were a matter of betraying constituents, your officials would have acquiesced not to the money in the gun lobby, but to the more than half of US citizens who have historically preferred tighter control over gun purchasing - but that's not the point; our politicians are supposed to act in our best interests, not do whatever we tell them to. Read your Federalist papers and tell me your hallowed founding fathers didn't know that people can succumb all too easily to the whims of a moment, and that the responsibility for a firm hand to guide them back to safe territory doesn't rest squarely with their politicians.

Okay sure, using a numeral was a bad idea. http://i.imgur.com/YIS9f.jpg makes the same point without that contention.
