it was a bank but yea he just went in, signed up for a bank account, and the bank tellers (who are licensed firearms dealers as well) gave him a gun from their collection of FIVE HUNDRED guns there in the bank. fucking madness.

was he for gun control or was he explaining both sides?.. the thing about gun control is criminals are going to get gns no matter what, why punish the responisble gun owners who use it for hunting and self protection..

moore's a member of the NRA and as a kid he used to win awards for shooting, so he comes at the issue pretty fairly. obviously it's a VERRRRRRY subjective documentary but it's well grounded at the same time.

Maybe they will, but the US has so many in circulation and so many deaths by firearms. Its a very different story over here where we have far fewer shootings.

i used to be into Michael Moore's stuff, including both TV shows he's had in the past. but i dunno, i just got kind of sick of politics in general and lost interest in him or anything political. it just gets tiresome. Guy A doesn't like Guy B, so Guy A complains about it, then Guy B complains about that and starts to complain about Guy A, and it just goes on and on... life is too short to whine about politics.

LOL criminals are going to get guns no matter what?? lol, great point we should make nuclear bombs legal, cus people are going to bulid them no matter what
its a clear and indeniable pattern that countries with strict gun control have much lower violent crime rates
and how is making someone register their gun "punishing" them??
what about limiting the kinds of guns available? how is denying someone a fucking M-16 punshing them???
NOBODY shoudl have the right to powerful weapons like that
sometimes the United States seems to be possessed by a rampant individualism bordering on anarchy (ok thats a bit of an over-statement but u know what i mean).... its insane

you're such a tool. you really enjoy trying to provoke people, huh? first off, I didn't say the subject matter was unimportant, ya fucking gimp. I simply stated that it gets tiring hearing the same people complain about the same crap over, and over, and over, and over again without ever really doing anything to make some kind of change. if you like being so political, why don't you get off your ass, leave the mb, and try making a real difference in the world? you won't, because you know you can't, nobody can, and that's why politics gets boring fast. everyone complains about something, but do we ever try to change it? of course not, that involves work.

if you want to live your life stuck up and annoyed with every single aspect in the world you disagree with and always be unhappy, then by all means, go for it. but don't try to drag me down with you, i'm perfectly happy living a life without worry of things that can't and won't change just because i don't like it. take you for example: you're a goddamn cunt, but will I waste my time complaining and try to change you? of course not, some things just aren't worth the effort.

i'm not replying to any of your generalizations cos they're baseless. you're guessing (not necessarily correctly) at my tone through text on a message board. assuming you even get the tone correctly, how can you approximate my whole lifestyle and personal interests? when have i ever said i was annoyed with every single aspect of the world? i think you're projecting here. i don't know what's wrong with you but i know it has nothing to do with me. i wish you luck in sorting out your problems.

to be honest, except for 10 or so users i don't even pay attention to people's names. i have a habit of just reading the messages, only sometimes reading who wrote them. even then i often lose track of who's who cos there are so many people on here. if i reply it's not cos i'm picking on someone but cos a message or topic has spurred me to respond. it's not that deep, really.

i don't think i'm being nasty. i'm trying to explain my actions, but asides from that i just aim to be myself - not nasty, polite, or anything in specific. i speak my mind, and if i can't do so on an idm message board, then where can i?
