Dear Stacey, have I missed a memo of the NRA?

Saturday night was a little "James Bond Movie Night" on television. "The Man With The Golden Gun" and "A View To Kill" plus the documentaries about the Bond girls, sorry, Bond women (I learned something - besides that Goodnight is probably one of the most annoying Bond ladies in my opinion) and about Desmond Llewelyn.

Watching "A View To Kill" - from 1985 - something striked me that I had totally forgotten. 
There is this one scene where James Bond visits Stacey Sutton at home and has just the right timing because two henchmen of Zorin have the same idea. Stacey has this shotgun which Bond takes to teach the bad guys a lesson, only to discover that something is strange about its amunition. Back in the house with Stacey, he asks her with what she has loaded the shotgun.

Her reply is - rock salt.



Is now rock salt the second standard amunition for shotguns, did I miss some memo of the NRA or is this just my crazy fangirl mind which wants to have fun and sees parallels everywhere?


Or do the James Bond-movies have an unknown layer of meaning and symbolism that I only missed so far?

Is Stacey Sutton simply more than the blond, dumb, weak chick that I thought she is but a very cunning, intelligent huntress of evil spirits and demons whose daily facade even fools our hero? Is Zorin an even bigger threat than assumed who not only wants to destroy Silicon Valley but wants to open the hellmouth to release devils & demons to ravage earth and humankind? Is that why Stacey is letting herself be kidnapped and acting like she hasn't noticed the huge zeppelin above her to get as close as possible to Zorin to fulfill her plan of finally stabbing him with the wooden stake hidden in her neck line - a plan Bond totally foils out of his nescience?
