Anybody else see this movie? I just watched it on netflix. Pretty interesting, especially for gun owners. It's a documentary by Michael Moore about America's "obsession" with firearms. Talks about how the NRA was created the same year as the KKK, talks about the Anarchist's Cookbook, and other interesting things.
Although it was a pretty good movie, i don't know what the message was about. Started off as a pro-gun Moore, being a lifetime NRA member and whatnot, and ended with a  not sure if it was anti-gun or what to make of it by the end.

Never watched it, but given Moore's ludicrously left-wing stance on absolutely everything, and the false correlation between the NRA and KKK, I'm sure most of it is bunk.  Honestly, the NRA and KKK were founded in the same year?  What possible difference does that make?  In the aftermath of the Civil War, two things were apparent: slavery was abolished, and Union troops had been out-shot man-for-man by their Confederate opponents during the entire duration of the war.  A couple of Union officers formed the National Rifle Association to teach marksmanship, so that the country would have a wide base of expert riflemen to draw on in the next conflict.  The KKK, on the other hand, was formed to rectify the fact that the South had lost, slavery was abolished, and some guys didn't like black people.  I'm not seeing the connection.

BUT WAIT! If we go a little further down the rabbit hole, we see that also in 1871 was THE GREAT CHICAGO FIRE!!!  *cue the Twilight Zone theme*  Coincidence?  I THINK NOT!

The opening scene of the movie shows a bank in michigan that gives you a FREE RIFLE when you open an account. I thought that was hilarious.

That sounds like a good idea in Detroit. Detroit is about as bad as it gets and you better have a firearm if you live there for home defense and a ccw if you care to venture out to downtown at night.

There's a news story about a bank or car dealership that gives free guns several times a year. Just saw one last week on yahoo.

That is sweet!  Better than a stupid toaster or tote bag.   

Yeah this show is a trip..... The kid that got shot is anti..... Even more he should fight to carry something.....

It's funny how he doesn't realize that "BAD" people shot up the school.....

People feel that because he's been through the shooting that we should really listen to him and ban some stuff.....

"We can't ban guns because too much bad people havem....."

ps: didn't mean to offend anyone but it's time to use that thing called common sense.....

This is one of my biggest pet peeves!  Being a victim of a shooting doesn't make you any more of an expert on violent crime prevention than wrecking your car makes you an expert on automotive safety.

Michael Moore makes hype to sell his dumb-ass movies. Twists information and sells them.
Ha ha! that's funny...like drunk drivers make the best experts on driving while drunk

I believe I saw this as an in-flight movie a long time ago. All I recall was Michael Moore drawing comparisons between the US and Canada and blaming the US media for glorifying "bad" news to get higher ratings which has corrupted our culture.
