    This saying never made sense to me. You already have trapped the fish. If you shoot them, they become inedible. Why not just starve them, or tip the bucket over and a couple minutes later bam, dinner for the whole village.

    Who tf was like ‘ima blast these little swimming fools’ and why in the fuck were people like ‘that sounds like a great idea, I can be a real badass now’. Those people just sound like wannabes.

    Now who’s helping me tip over this barrel?

          No it is not. It means to do something really simple - which shooting a fish in a barrel is. It doesn’t need to be the most logical thing people do, it just needs to be easy.
