You probably have played finger gun fighting with your siblings or friends but have you ever played with your pets?
In this video, after being ‘shot’ by their owners’ finger guns, pets play dead with all kinds of gestures. They act so real that you might wonder how they’ve been trained. Do they imitate their owners? Or they watch a lot of action movies? Okay, characters in action movies may not be so hilarious; they probably watch comedic series—that’s if animals can really watch TV and are able to imitate the characters.
The hand gesture of finger gun, however, is regarded as having the implication of threats or aggression in daily life. People feel offensive when pointed by a finger gun. Students and kids may be punished or threaten to be punished for making the gesture.
‘Bang! Bang! Bang!’ Be careful! The violence message carried in your finger gun can become an invisible bullet that hurt people somewhere you can’t see!
