but i think when audiences see the film, they'll understand at the end of the film it kind of defies ns as to what you think is going to happen. there was actually a great column in the new yorker called the dark presence of guns. and it's uncanny that his narrative he describes parallels my film pretty closely. he talks about the first time he fired a handgun when he was a police officer in cape cod. he says, you know, you realize you turn to the guy next to you and you could end his life. and there's some sense of power there that comes with that. and he says it's not necessarily that he has a murderous impulse but more he understands the sense of authority the gun gives him. >> i have not seen your film. congrats on getting to sundance. that's a huge accomplishment. but what was the point here? was the point to try and kind of scare folks away from buying a gun for self-defense? one of our fundamental rights and responsible thing to do? >> not at all. the film's not meant to push an agenda. i think the strength of it is it leaves it open to your interpretation. and i think that's w
