That was just 1 of the many fallacies in his movie
This critique of Moore has always fascinated me. Assuredly, he was not conveying entirely accurate information - but at the same token, he did walk out of the bank with the gun. The bank did give him a gun and let him walk out with it.

That much is irrefutable.

Also, I still get the impression that many people think Bowling For Columbine was actually an anti-gun documentary. Strange.
