I'm not sure where you are getting the impression that documentaries are supposed to be objective... again... they are not.
They are essays in an audio/visual medium. How a filmmaker chooses to present his or her facts and arguments is up to them...
There is no such thing as objectivity and documentarians have no obligation (such as the press does) to strive for objectivity (an unatainable ideal).
I think Nomad has put it best... Moore is an anti-gun Liberal and most of his opponents are not...
(an interesting point is that the movie had to be made by a Canadian company - Salter Street Films out of Halifax)
