Ok, I saw BFC a couple of times and I daresay that several people have missed the boat. The main thrust of BFC is not that guns are bad, rather the theme is what makes American Society so violent. I already knew that the bank scene was not as advertised. I know that just eliminating guns is not the answer. The film succeeded because it asked questions about American society. Why in hell are we so violent? I still don't know and I'm sure Moore doesn't either, but we have a culture of firearms that make such an easy target.
I come from a line of gun owners and don't believe banning them is a panacea. I do beleieve that asking questions about the society we live in is just as valid as the 2nd Ammendment. We as a people have work to do and it doesn't just involve guns.
