The United States of America is notorious for its astronomical number of people killed by firearms for a developed nation without a civil war. With his signature sense of angry humor, activist filmmaker Michael Moore sets out to explore the roots of this bloodshed. In doing so, he learns that the conventional answers of easy availability of guns, violent national history, violent entertainment and even poverty are inadequate to explain this violence when other cultures share those same factors without the equivalent carnage. In order to arrive at a possible explanation, Michael Moore takes on a deeper examination of America's culture of fear, bigotry and violence in a nation with widespread gun ownership. Furthermore, he seeks to investigate and confront the powerful elite political and corporate interests fanning this culture for their own unscrupulous gain.

I will not completely revoke the fact that Michael Moore's movie Bowling for Columbine had some interesting, and funny parts. However, he completely misleads the viewer by piecing together Charleston Heston speeches, taking statements grossely out of context, and flat out lying. I really can't begin to explain how far he goes so, for more info. So, if you're interested, just do a search for "Revoke the Oscar" on google, or your search engine of choice. Keep in mind that these sites are intent on changing your view of Michael Moore, so there are many low-blows, but you can also find the actual truth about the "documentary" too.
