Whether or not Michael Moore plays fast and loose with the facts, I think the fact that the movie calls attention to the gun crime in this country makes it worthwhile to watch. This is a scary place to live. So many guns in the hands of so many complete idiots. When we lived in Switzerland, all the men of army age had rifles and ammunition in their homes. They had to keep them there, where they were periodicaly inspected, because they were members of the standing army. Do you know how many crimes have been committed with those guns? None! I felt safe living in Europe; I don't feel safe here, not even in a city with a low crime rate, like Fort Collins, Colorado (an hour away from Littleton, BTW). Why do Americans have such a love affair with guns? Why do people need to own assult guns? For hunting? Give me a break. We need some decent gun control laws. Watch an hour or two of the trauma shows on TLC and you'll the results of our love affair with guns.
Moore made some excellent points in the movie, as well as in his books. I certainly don't agree with everything he says or with all his tactics, but that doesn't make everything he says untrue. If you're going to attack people for futzing around with the "facts," look first to our biggest and best example--good old Dubya.
As for Charleton Heston, when he assumed the role of president of the NRA, he put himself in a position to be criticized. Seeing that clip of him holding a gun above his head and saying "Over my cold, dead body" makes me nauseated. If he's senile, he should step down. In the meantime, he's put himself in the bull's eye (pun intended).
