Re: I thought Michael Moore was against Guns
The message of the movie was to question why America has more gun violence than other similarly situated countries. Moore first sought to debunk the idea that the reason we have more gun violence is because of racial differences in this country. He pointed to countries with similar demographics and showed dissimilar gun violence statistics. Ultimately, Moore came to the conclusion that the very root issue might be fear and, he posits, that American's have more of it. Moore suggests that our irrational fears lead us to irrational actions with violence --- firearms in particular.
