We had a security guard in the shopping center I frequented who was showing off to some girls. He was pretending to play Russian roulette. From what I heard, he was noting where the bullet was in his revolver, but made the mistake that he thought it should be under the firing pin to discharge, when in actuality, as the trigger was pulled the cylinder advanced causing the empty under the firing pin to move forward and the cylinder to advance the bullet under the pin which came forward and fired the bullet into his head. So much for just folling around.
I would not pull the trigger on a revolver with a 1,000 chambers (if that were possible) and only one bullet. It is deliberately taking an action that might end your life for monetary gain and no other redeeming value. I might go to work on a job that could kill me, such as a policeman or firefighter, but that has redeeming value. I would not go to work everyday and do nothing but pull that trigger for x number of dollars. I see a big difference.
It's reminds me of a hypothetical my 11th grade English teacher proposed. Say 40,000 people a year die of automobile accidents. Would it be all right to execute 20,000 people a year, if by so doing we could guarantee that not one life would be lost by automobile accident?
