The problem with people like Michael Moore, and like you, is that you think you have some sort of God-given right to interfere in the lives of others. This isn't an American concept, it is nothing more than a modern version of the fallacious "Divine Right of Kings."
Americans are not any one's chatel, and anyone who wants to believe, or act otherwise is Anti-American, and has no idea what principles this nation was founded on.
One of those principles was the right to bear arms for the private citizenry.
The problem isn't guns, guns don't kill people, people kill people.
Blaming it on the environment is just a cheep cop out of people that refuse to take responsibility for their own actions, and the enablers that don't want to tell them that is in fact their fault they are in the position they are in.
I didn't say gun control meant take away guns from any civilian, I just mean buckle it down. I'm in agreement with arms, but come on, that wasn't the fucking point of Bowling for Columbine. His point was
stop blaming others for their actions, much like you just said, wasn't it? Everyone and their grandmother hopped on the bandwagon to shun goth rock and hip-hop for the explanation, when deep down inside, they knew it was themselves.
I don't have any "god-given right to interfere with others" and if you knew anything about the history of the United States,
that's all we fucking do is interfere with other people's shit!
Torture, invading other countries without declaring anything, un-warranted searches and seizures the list goes on.
Sure, I agree that we have the rights to bare arms and follow the constitution, but why is this the only example we follow?
There are plenty of ways the United States
twists the constitution into their own liking. If you're going to underline one part of it, why not the whole thing?
They pick and choose what "rights" we have, when in reality, we have very little.

ps:
Once again, I'm not for gun control. Just stupid fucks who beat/molest their kids and wonder why they went off the deep end.
Yet, you advocate stripping us of one of the most powerful arguments in our closet, our fire arms. The fact that the private citizenry has their own weapons is probably one of the few things that helps keep the power-mongering imbeciles in D.C. from trying to establish themselves as Kings and Nobility.
If D.C. ever gets to the point where armed insurrection is the only course, I don't want to be with out a firearm. Better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it.
Well look at France and other European countries, even Iran (too soon?)! Their people are willing to stand up and fight
with words and protest for what they believe in. With the exception of Iran, most countries governments are scared to death of their people, cause they've seen revolutions before. Iran's gvt is slowly realizing the masses are too overwhelming and they can't keep the vote fraud scandal hidden any longer.
