This really was an interesting and thought provoking film into the gun culture of North America and a study as to why the Americans are so gun crazy. Michael Moore pointed out that the Americans live in a state of fear, fear of being robbed and fear of being killed. This is not helped by the National Rifle Association encouraging people to go out and buy guns and arm themselves against any possible danger. The head of the NRA is Charlton Heston who seems to think it is commendable to not only own a gun but to use when the person wants to despite any possible dangers.
Michael Moore featured the horrifying facts about the Columbine school massacre and other gun crimes where innocent children have been killed just because they found a gun in the house.
Charlton Heston was no "big man" in this film. He came across as an arrogant and ignorant man who has no feelings whatsoever for the innocent victims of gun crime.
This film is a must and just tells the truth as it is and does not try to portray guns as glamorous.
