I don't think moore is anti-gun, in fact he was a member of the NRA himself and a skilled marksman, well maybe. But the main point of Bowling for columbine, was not some anti-gun rant, it had more to do with the media and other sources spreading fear, such that people feel they all needed guns and then use them at will. And if their wasn't so much fear out there, then maybe people wouldn't think we need all these guns.
However, you say crime rate has risen with a universal ban, so i really don't know what to think.... as long as the statistics are correct.
That said, i still think i'd feel more unsafe with a gun, which is a little ironic i guess. If you're not breaking the law though, then there shouldn't be anything stopping you from carrying a gun around. I just don't feel i need it atm.
