now we know where Michael Moore stands: every child has the right to grow up in a gun-free crack house.

Yep, and in terms of 9/11 he says it's all our own fault, so I guess every child has the right to blame the USA for 9/11, too.

If you were to hire someone to make the left look stupid, Michael Moore would be your man.

Canadians are slightly more murderous than Americans in this sphere: in the US, there are 1.7 homicides per 100,000 long guns; in Canada, it’s 1.9. So British visitors to North America should be aware they’re more likely to be killed by a homicidal Canadian rifleman than an American one. On the overall murder rate, if Moore’s interested in “cultural differences”, it seems odd that he should avoid the most obvious one: Alberta Report’s Colby Cosh, a braver man than I, points out that black Americans are 13% of the US population but commit over half the murders. Once you factor those out, non-black Americans murder at about the same rate as Canadians.

This is also reported in the book "The Seven Myths of Gun Control" I believe by Richard Poe.

The one thing you have to be careful of with anything Michael Moore says is that you don't step in it..

I saw the movie at an art theater. I make it a point to study "enemy propaganda".

Bowling for Columbine is disjointed but moderately effective agit-prop, that gets a C-plus grade.

Some parts were highly effective, like the interview with the obviously psychotic lunatic Nichols brother (the unindicted brother of Oklahoma City bombing conspirator Terry Nichols).

Most of the movie is ridiculous deceitful propaganda. The picture of Canada as a paradise on earth where citizens never lock their doors was preposterous.

The movie's "climax" was an attack "interview" with the polite, decent (but obviously very frail) Charleton Heston at his own home, whom millionaire lard *ss Moore had been stalking. Despite his Alzheimer's and despite the obvious editing by Moore of the inerview, I thought Heston handled Moore's rude attack with dignity and intelligent answers.
