bowling for columbine

Yes, bowling for columbine definitely raises some necessary questions but it is just so hard for me to see past Michael Moore and i feel like i really can't trust anything the movie tells me. I realize that most of it is true, but i feel like he is just so manipulative. when he is talking to the head of the NRA, of course he makes him look like a horrible person after he interrogated him and made him look like an asshole. if i was him i would walk away from michael moore too, and moore knew exactly the reaction he would get. he used Kayla more as a manipulation tactic to make the guy look like a monster than bringing up issues.

I think that is a fair assessment, but can you see the sociologicl issues he raises?

i agree that he definitely used that kayla girl in a way to only prove that NRA guy wrong than actually define the real issue at hand. that poor girl was shot because a kid got ahold of a gun, not because that NRA guy handed that kid a gun.
