Small Fire-Arms Hiding in the Shadows

This video is about the first stage of weoponry which is 'deterance'. This was filmed under low-light conditions in a basement over the top of a pool table.

Stage 1: Deterrence

The first stage – deterrence (illustrated on the screen) – is one of an effective defensive and/or aggressive strategy that’s underlying action is to demonstrate to an outside force that any attempt to trespass in action or physicality on ones personal space can result in dire consequence. It is an act of preventing or controlling actions or behavior through fear of punishment or retribution.

The handgun – hidden and out-of-site – restricted from being seen – in one’s own house – under the bed – in ones apartment – in the glove box – in ones pocket – in a bag – a lunchbox – a bookbag - under ones clothing.

We do not know it is there – we do not see it – it is there but it is not – it is hidden in the shadows – in the basement – and documented with the immateriality of the photograph – present on the television – on the Internet. This is how we know that they exist – yet we do not know where they exist.

We shall not come to close to one another because we do not know what ‘the others’ actions might be – we do not know what is hidden – we do not see ‘the void’ because we can not see ‘the void’ – we do not want to understand ‘the void’ – so we just stay away.

Because what may eventually protrude with force is a bullet – a dished heel base bullet – a jacketed bearing surface bullet – a round nose flat based bullet – a full metal jacketed bullet – a round nose cup based bullet – a truncated cone exposed tip bullet – a hollow based wad-cutter bullet – a full jacketed hollow point bullet – a semi wad-cutter cup based bullet – a jacketed soft point bullet – a semi wad-cutter gas check bullet – an exposed tip hollow point bullet – a semi wad-cutter half-jacket bullet – a semi wad-cutter full jacket bullet…

We do not wish for our bodies to meet any of these nasty metallic creatures that our neighbor has the potentiality to deliver onto us.

Deterrence – a last ideological rampart against a kind of global destruction – a global suicide – a deterrent in the fact that we could all disappear. Which leads to the current escape, the escape of nuclear war, of deterrence.

From the NRA Handbook:
“A major factor in determining the “best” method of carry is the mechanical design of the handgun in question, particularly the firing pin. Here are considered, in order, semi-automatic pistols, revolvers, single-shot pistols and derringers.”

The handgun is cocked and ready to fire, hiding in the shadows.
