Moore believes the NRA is only half right when it comes to guns, but his argument for the actual cause of gun violence is only half logical. He even recognizes the fact that even with stricter gun control, there would still be a few thousand gun deaths in the country. So what does he believe is the problem?
Ultimately, Moore says Americans kill each out of “fear.” Buying into the left’s tried and untrue argument that owning a gun puts your life at greater danger simply by the fact of having a gun, Moore suggests fear drives Americans to buy guns and then a greater number of Americans end up dying because they have guns. He elaborated by suggesting that owning guns makes it easier to commit suicide, makes it easier to kill people you know (“domestic situations”), and, of course, makes it easier for a shouting match in the parking lot or front yard to turn deadly.
Missing from all this theorizing are a few pertinent facts that actually contribute to the approximately 10,000 firearm-related homicides in the U.S. each year. One of those facts is gang and street violence–like the kind we see in heavily gun-controlled cities like Baltimore, Chicago, Philadelphia, New Orleans, New York City, St. Louis, and others. On December 22 the Chicago Tribune reported there have been 2,887 shooting victims in Chicago year-to-date. That’s 2,887 shooting victims in a city where “assault weapons” are banned, where extra taxes are levied on gun and ammunition purchases, where gun stores exist only in suburbs, and where myriad other gun controls make it very difficult to acquire a gun legally–even out of “fear” of losing one’s life.
Yet far from decreasing crime, Chicago has become notorious for gun crime and firearm-related death and carnage.
Why didn’t Michael Moore mention this?
After making sense, Moore retreated into the haze of fuzzy logic that liberals have become so well known for. At least he was partially right, guns don’t kill people. Stupidity, however, does.

Wrong again !!!
Disturbed people use guns to kill people.
We have our second amendment rights. Stop trying to take away our protection.
While you stars sit in your gated communities or mansions with armed guards.
Maybe the public should boycott all the gun toting movie stars.
I have figured you out. You suffer from Terminal Rectumitis. It is a disease that afflicts most Liberal Socialists and you have it in spades!

Ya’ know what kills me you idiot?

I agree, but that encompasses more than guns doesn’t it. 🙂
Moore is a America hater. He clearly does not like Americans. The very people who made him rich. He is a disgrace to his industry and to all of America. disgusting
Douche bag of all
See that round hole at the end? Insert that in your mouth, you fat, ugly dipshit.
