What should be measured is the amount of violence acts in general. If we have more murders, then the question to ask is why are Americans more violent in general than people other places.

But that's the whole point of the movie: that the guns themselves don't cause the violence. If anything, it's a strong argument AGAINST gun control (even though Moore's own conclusion is, as usual, muddled). Gun control is just wasted effort that doesn't address the central issue. Kind of like spraying Coca crops in South America. Useless.
