Worse than that. "Bowling For Columbine" won an Oscar for Best Documentary. However, there is a possibility that the Oscar might be yanked and given to another nominee. It has been alleged that some of the scenes in the film, purported to be spontaneous, were staged ... removing it from the pure definition of what a documentary is supposed to be. He still has the Oscar for now. But he might not have it in the future. The vote is still out.Michael Moore is probably a pathological liar, and even worse, he's probably a pathological liar with an agenda.
Having said that, and though I'm neither a gun-owner nor NRA member, I think that all law-abiding citizens should have a right to gun ownership ... with one proviso. Before owning a gun, it should be mandatory that a purchaser prove they've taken/passed an NRA-approved gun safety course (like the one I took via 4-H when I was younger). The idea of someone just walking in off the street and buying a gun without first having proof they know how to handle it is like the idea of allowing someone to just walk in off the street, buy a car, and drive it off the lot ... without having proof they have a license (and have gone through a driving test). There are responsible gun owners. But, sad to say, there are also dodos who's idea of proper gun ownership comes from watching too many Baretta or Kojak reruns on TV.
