Description
An account of the resource
"Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine," a documentary that is both hilarious and sorrowful, is like a two-hour version of that anecdote. We live in a nation of millions of handguns, but that isn't really what bothers Moore. What bothers him is that we so frequently shoot them at one another. Canada has a similar ratio of guns to citizens, but a 10th of the shooting deaths. What makes us kill so many times more fellow citizens than is the case in other developed nations? Moore, the jolly populist rabble-rouser, explains that he's a former sharpshooting instructor and a lifelong member of the National Rifle Association. No doubt this is true, but Moore has moved on from his early fondness for guns. In "Bowling for Columbine," however, he is not so sure of the answers as in the popular "Roger & Me," a film in which he knew who the bad guys were, and why. Here he asks questions he can't answer, such as why we as a nation seem so afraid, so in need of the reassurance of guns."

"In his latest provocation—a documentary mixing stock footage, interviews, gun-dealer advertisements, and the like—he goes after America’s gun culture, which he sees as the product of a collective guilt over slavery and the slaughter of Native Americans, a guilt that manifests itself in paranoia and a relentless obsession with security."

Description
An account of the resource
"Bowling for Columbine's" final and most focused section involves a shooting in Moore's hometown of Flint that especially galvanized him: the school killing of a 6-year-old first-grader by another 6-year-old. Moore looks into the "welfare to work" program that kept the shooter's mother separated from her son, challenges Kmart officials about their chain's sale of ammunition and, in the film's climax, confronts Charlton Heston about why he came to Flint for a pro-gun rally just after the shooting.

Description
An account of the resource
"The most disappointing -- and the most likely -- response to Mr. Moore's disturbing, infuriating and often very funny film would be uncritical support from his ideological friends and summary dismissal from his foes. The slippery logic, tendentious grandstanding and outright demagoguery on display in ''Bowling for Columbine'' should be enough to give pause to its most ardent partisans, while its disquieting insights into the culture of violence in America should occasion sober reflection from those who would prefer to stop their ears."
