Makes Me Sick!!!

I lived very near Columbine when it happened, and I haven't seen the movie, but I kind of refuse to. I saw the thing play out right in front of my eyes. I know some kids that were there, and I have talked to them extensively about it. I don't think that somebody with an obvious slant can tell it any better than that. And from what I hear, when he interviews people that were there, he does it in a tongue in cheek manner, which really sucks. My friends lost friends there, and it still hurts them. I don't think any of them is really "pro-gun", but I may not be either if I was there. None of them, however, slight me for being a gun owner, though one girl insists that I never bring them out when she's here, which is a given as a courtesy to her and a matter of responsibility, which she understands.
I will probably see the movie eventually, but I know that Moore does his best to portray Columbine as a mistake on the part of the gun industry, which is a phallic fallacy.

I hunt so I have guns in my house.
I think the gov is so screwed up now and has been for 15 years
i just say you can try to take away all the guns from regular folks but the crimials will allways get their hands on them
it will be a sad day if the gov takes guns away from people who use their guns in the right mannar
