I've just finished watching Bowling for Columbine which is possible one of the most scareiest things i've seen. I couldn't believe the ease of access to guns in the US some of it very serious artillery such as assault guns used by special forces, that people keep in their home.
The part of the film I was really struck by was the scene in the bank where you open a bank account and get a free gun (fom a choice of 500 guns) then buy all the bullets and other accesories from the hairdresser.
So who owns a gun here? what type? and as someone in the film said do you have a gun to, "cut out the middle man (i.e. police) to take care of business."
wow.. won't believe Rumsfield et al...
but will believe Moore....
