The film was excellent. What I meant to convey is what happens here when you mention Moores name. People's minds shut down because he has this extreme reputation. So naturally whatever truths he has to offer are ignored in favor of preconcieved prejudices. Like what we saw with this discussion. The folks who want to keep and use their deadly handguns are not interested in stats or truths. They just want to keep their toys. No matter how many innocent people die as a result.

That film was political rhetoric, nothing but propoganda.

If you're trying to say that Michael Moore is objective then you're not going to come across as being very objective yourself.

The film was a piece of crap. so was 911. they were both an excellant prteayal of a one side of a story. Somewhat well thought out and documented; how ever, there are more things going on than in the film and as a film itself, it wasnt even a b movie

"Who knows if the founding fathers; confronted with the enormous and lethal capability of our current weaponry would have painted in such broad strokes."

John,
Given your above post, you should trade in your enormously lethal modern rifles and get either far less lethal handguns, or black powder guns. C'mon buddy, how about practising what you preach.

Unlike people pulling stats out of anywere to prove anything, here is a scholarly researcher.
I don't expect it to change the thinking of the more extremist posters here, but at least for those who are moderate, it may help.
