Reply to comment by series_hybrid in Psychopathic tendencies are associated with an elevated interest in fire, study finds by chrisdh79
A true psychopath doesn't want to use a gun. When people see a gun, they want to scream and guns are inherently too load. Also, you don't have power over a gun, the gun does. "what am i without this machine but flesh?"
With a knife, no one screams when they see a knife. With a knife you have full power over the individual. It is raw physical strength with an object that is merciless and silent.
That's what I've gathered, anyways.

That makes sense. If some children were terrorized when they were small and helpless, sometimes one of them can develop a desire to find out what it would feel like to be the person wielding the power of terror.

I think it's about regaining that power and esteem more than anything else
