There has to be some strange psychological quirk here. I'm serious.
Why would anyone think that they can win a gun battle when the opposition already has the draw , aim , finger on trigger and are ready to drop the hammer ?
I don't care if you are member of seal team 6 , an Olympic gold metal shooter , Guiness world record fast draw holder , Massad Ayoub , a star record trickshooter or even Chuck Norris you are not going to win this game.
What causes someone to snap to the point when you just cannot win and die trying.
A normal brain will give up before self destruction ending in death.
This phenomenon is kinda similar to 'temporary insanity' but ending in death.
Usually when someone is about to do something like commit suicide , attack the police(same thing really) or hold my beer moments, they waved goodbye to logic and reason.
