Product Description:
Explores people's facination with the handgun and the possible reasons for the increase in gun violence in the United States.
Genre: Documentary
Rating: R
Release Date: 13-FEB-2007
Media Type: DVD
Amazon.com:
Michael Moore's superb documentary (following in the footsteps of Roger & Me and The Big One) tackles a meaty subject: gun control. Moore skillfully lays out arguments surrounding the issue and short-circuits them all, leaving one impossible question: why do Americans kill each other more often than people in any other democratic nation? Moore focuses his quest around the shootings at Columbine High School and the shooting of one 6-year-old by another near his own hometown of Flint, Michigan. By approaching the headquarters of K-Mart (where the Columbine shooters bought their ammo) and going to Charlton Heston's own home, Moore demands accountability from the forces that support unrestricted gun sales in the U.S. His arguments are conducted with the humor and empathy that have made Moore more than just a gadfly; he's become a genuine voice of reason in a world driven by fear and greed. --Bret Fetzer

- Raises several credibility issues for all of his movies.
I am a native Coloradan and I attened a high school very close to Columbine and a Junior High right across the street from Columbine and I noticed several blatant lies about this "documentary." It made it seem like Littleton was just a place where they hash out war machines leaving children to face some Lord Of The Flies like reality. It made it seem as if Lockheed Martin made the town into some kind of Hans Scorpio evil village. It's not like that at all, it is one of the few suburbs where you can ... Read More

- Great movie that everyone needs to see!
I was reluctant to watch this movie at first, because I thought it was only about gun control... which I don't necessarily believe in.It is not even about gun control, but rather shows how Americans are so violent because the media corporation keeps us afraid.We live in this state of fear, so we go out and kill people when they make us angry, in the name of religion, or defense of our families. Very, very good movie.Michael Moore is one of the most patriotic people I know of-because he actually ... Read More
Rating: - Total misrepresentation of facts
Moore spends much of this film misrepresenting 'facts'. He takes things out of context and splices much of this film together to make it appear that people are saying things they didnt say.
What appalls me the most is the way he ambushes Charleton Heston with things that arent true. Heston is obviously not at his best and in the early stages of Alzheimers. His lack of recall is show as a way to depict him and all 2nd ammendment supporters as uncaring and callous. It would have been much fairer ... Read More
Rating: - Eye opener about gun ownership
Let me say this first, if you do not like Michael Moore don't watch this movie. Also, if you are conservative and very pro-gun ownership, then you will hate this movie. This movie uses the Columbine shooter to jumpstart a discussion and investigation of the 2nd Amendment and why the United States has more gun related homicides than any other nation. Michael Moore is a card-carrying member of the NRA so he is not completely biased. I really liked how he went to many different groups trying to get all perspectives ... Read More
Rating: - You can't trust an idiot like Moore if his movies are given free airtime in Islamic Iran
Michael Moore movies are useless and full of lies. No doubt about it. However, what makes me give this moron a zero star rating is that his movies are all shown for free on Iranian regime run TV channels many times a year. Gee, you wonder why anti-American regime of Iran loves Michael Moore so much. His movies are truly worthless and based on lies he fabricates out of his hatred for the country which has given him the freedom to do so. Zero Star!
