Which portion of the reply you quoted is an argument that Michael Moore is pro-gun? All I see are two questions, both of which are specific to BfC. Are you going to answer those two questions?

And will you still argue that it is not hypocritical to then hire a bodyguard, an armed gunman, a mercenary for his personal protection?

Of course it is not hypocritical. You can, in fact, be anti-gun while owning a gun without being even remotely hypocritical. A gun can be used for protection from people with guns. To be anti-gun does not mean one must remove a primary form of protection from that which you oppose. For someone who is anti-gun, the ideal world is one in which there are no guns and therefore one of the primary reasons for having a gun is removed. But we do not live in any ideal world, so there remains a primary reason for having a gun even while one is opposed to the ability to possess a gun.
