About This Quote
It is possible that whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword never encountered automatic weapons. The pen could not hold a candle to the awesome power of an automatic weapons system. The pen is certainly less convenient than an automatic weapon. The pen has to be physically held to be used, and it can’t fire on its own.
It takes time for people to write, which means there’s time for them to be shot. The pen can’t always keep up with an attacker, so it’s not always accurate. Even if it were, the attacker could still shoot it out of your hand before you could use it.
An automatic weapon will always be ready for use because it’s always loaded and ready to fire.
