Michael Moore Hours After Newtown Massacre: 'Guns Don't Kill People! Americans Kill People!'
Democracy Now! aired an excerpt of an address made by filmmaker Michael Moore delivered just hours after the Newtown massacre.
Moore criticized America for the violence, saying that "guns don’t kill people, Americans kill people," and then pointed to U.S. wars, drone strikes and "other forms of violence."
Transcript below: MICHAEL MOORE: Earlier today, a crazy man went to an elementary school and attacked 22 children in China. A few hours before Connecticut, an elementary school was attacked in China by an insane man, and 22 children were his victims. But all he had was a knife. Total number of dead in the Chinese elementary school? Zero.
I hope you don’t mind, but I’d like to just say a few words about what happened today, because I’ve been concerned about this issue for a long time. Yes, we need more gun control. Yes, we need free mental health services in this country. But I really believe that even if we had better gun control laws and better mental health, that we would still be the sort of sick and twisted, violent people that we’ve been for hundreds of years, that it’s something that’s just in our craw, just in our DNA. And to get that out of our DNA is going to take a lot more than passing a bill in Albany or D.C. That’s not going to do it.

He should be worrying about harpoons not bullets.
Then the solution is obvious.
Ban Americans! :)
Kinda’ wish that FR would stop with putting all these hammerasses’ comments on . . . but, what else is news, huh?
Saw Soledad O’Brien getting her ass handed to her by John Lott. However, a libtard site said she kicked HIS ass.
Yawn!
I agree with him a bit if only to say that we don’t have a gun problem in this country, we have a SPIRITUAL problem. Moore and I probably wouldn’t agree on that second part. Fix that and everything else lines up.
Why continue to give this pig ink. He is twisted.
I despise MM, but this is, unfortunately, a very reasonable observation.
Guns are just immensely more suitable for a mass killing spree than other readily-available weapons.
Ban Moore.
Stuff a taco in it, Michael.
Actually, Americans on psychotropic drugs, like SSRIs kill people.
This site tell it all:
I say time for Michael to get out of this country and away from the people he so so despises. Maybe he should go to France, I ‘m sure his rants against rich people and violence will go over well there. Moore should make like the Titanic and sink out of sight.
Somebody tell Moore that since 1949 about 65 million (!!!) Chinese have been killed, not by guns persay, but by their government. That’s a heckuva lot more than over here. And guess what would have helped them? Guns!
I’m so glad Michael Moore checked in (we knew it was coming, didn’t we?) with another one of his patented “deepthink” rants.
“Guns don’t kill people, Americans kill people!”
Moore’s implicit message of course, is that there oughta be a law against AMERICANS, that it’s Americans that should be banned.
And don’tcha just love the line “when you make sure that 50 million people don’t have health insurance......”
There is enough fudge-brained stupidity in that single line to last me a lifetime.
Does anyone care what this fat rich boy has to say?
Guns are just immensely more suitable for a mass killing spree than other readily-available weapons.
Fertilizer and kerosene are readily available, and suitable for a mass killing spree.
