Was moore even with his body guard? If he wasn't then i fail to see how this really has anything to do with moore at all. Even if the bodyguard was with moore, how is it ironic that a bodyguard would pack heat? I think some of the people here are under the impression that if someone happens to support any form of gun control, than it logically follows that they don't want anyone to have guns. This actually doesn't make sense in any sort of reality based context. Even if i were to go out on a limb and pretend that moore was in favor of the most stringent of gun control; i have yet to hear anyone i know who favors gun control -aside from the occasional anarchist-express a desire to remove guns from people who have a legitimate employment based need to use them i.e the police or the army or body guards or security guards.
Would it be ironic for moore to call 911 because the cops that may respond to his call will be carrying guns? Nope. Just like it isn't really that ironic that moore can make movies critical of america's gun culture while living in a country whose interests are protected by soldiers who use guns.
This might be ironic if moore was carrying the gun himself, but other than that, i just see mm detractors stretching to talk shit.
