brilliant film about the USA and guns than he did. He's done so much to try and stop shootings. He's a hero.

the interview happened a few days after the shooting. It was done at that airport but not on that day. I don't think he was there at the airport when the shooting happened. His dejection comes from the fact that so many years have passed since he did "Bowling for Columbine" and nothing has changed, these incidents happen weekly, monthly... are American's just a more violent people? That's the info I found, I could be mistaken but I hope it helps.

For example, ALEC written SYG laws have been enacted in several states, and even more innocent people have been shot by trigger-happy nervous nellies standing the holy heck out of their ground.

Many more people, including little kids and a US congresswoman, have been shot by rampaging gunmen who should never have had access to guns, but who didn't even have to go through a background check or a waiting period to amass their weapons.

What has changed is that it has gotten worse and keeps getting worse.

he felt that his documentary would open peoples minds to the state of the gun situation and that things would change for the better but the NRA and such have made things worse

Did you seriously just suggest that Moore's message hasn't been effective because he's FAT?

Wow. Just, wow.

However, I prefer to note Moore's bodyguard was arrested for carrying an unregistered gun. Mr. Moore should lead from the front.
