Your view on his film is to me somewhat hard to understand. Since it appears to me that Moore tried to question the extreme needs of firearms, the easy way young people can get firearms etc. I don't hate or like guns since I have never fired a real firearm. But he is trying in my opionon to make people start re-thinking there need of firearms, the storage of them etc. Having them for protection against thieves etc doesn't seem logical for me, cause if the thief is armed, then you are going to have a gun battle in your own home and you can never know how that ends. Risking your life for your family is a good thing, though a baseball bat and a phone is proberly better. Also investing in better locks etc to ensure the thief doesn't get in the house from the first start. But if you are to have a firearm, having in put in a safe, unloaded with the ammunition/magazine at another place should be quite fundamental. Moore also says he is a member of the NRA and he doesn't want to forbid people right to own a gun, it's more that if your ownly reason is to protect yourself in your home, there are better means of doing it and that the right people should have the firearms and a child between 0-15 should be able to get a firearm easiler than he get's milk.

Now if I have been unclear in anyway or if I have spelled some wors wrong, please tell me so. And you might see me as a 5year old child who needs everything explained to understand the world. And don't think for a second that i'm against USA in anyway, i'm just curious on how something works in the USA.
