Sleepyjack:
Y'all's Violent Crime rate has risen by 60% since your near-universal handgun ban of a few months back, and is now on the fast track to catch up to the US, in per-capita terms.
Bowling For Columbine was one massive lie from start to finish. Heston's "speech the week after Columbine" was a fraud; bits and pieces of over a half-dozen speeches spanning 18 months, edited together and being presented as the speech he gave at the NRA Convention. In fact, his speech was breif, low-keyed, and required by ther NRA's charter. They had canceled -every- other even of the 5-day convention except the dinner/speech, which is required to maintain their non-profit status, and is also required in their organizational charter.
Moore also went out of his way to equate the NRA with the Ku Klux Klan, which is a fallacy the size of Detroit.
The "Bank Account For Gun" incident was staged. You cannot simply walk into a bank and out again with a rifle; the state where that incident occurred has a 7-day waiting period on the purchase of any firearm. Moore opened his account a week before the scene was shot, had the rifle delivered to the a local FFL ( licensed Firearms dealer ) took it into the bank, had a teller hand it to him, and walked out. This gave the -appearance- that one could simply open an account and be handed a rifle with no checks, licenses, fees, wait, anything. This was, in fact, not true.
Moore also broke Canadian law, on film, when purchasing ammunition. He did not have a license to buy the stuff, nor did he display his identification. An ordinary Canadian would be in prison for this, but since Moore is an anti-gun celebrity with loads of cash...
