Art imitates life

I know it's kinda sick and inappropriate, but the news is full of the recovery of Congresswoman Giffords, who was shot in the head at point blank range, and I can't help it, I keep thinking about this line from the 2000 movie, Traffic:

Francisco Flores: [about how he is going to assassinate Eduardo Ruiz] I want to use a bomb.

Helena Ayala: Are you kidding? Can't you just shoot him or something?

Francisco Flores: I don't really like guns. You shoot someone in the head three times and some pinche doctor will keep them alive.
