He has the correct focus and he is a Lifetime NRA member.
The message of "Bowling for Columbine" was never anti-gun. It was pointing to the irresponsible way in which guns exist in our society. The assignment of anti-gun to "Bowling for Columbine" was propaganda of the NRA.
"Bowling for Columbine" makes the point that violent video games having little to nothing to do with gun violence. He shows video games in Canada where this phenomena does not exist. This IS an American problem.

A six-year-old girl (click here) was shot and killed, apparently by a fellow first grade student, a six-year-old boy, in a classroom at Buell Elementary School in Mt. Morris Township, outside of Flint, Michigan. Flint is a center of General Motors' auto production empire, located sixty miles north of Detroit. The fatal shooting occurred Tuesday morning....
...Authorities identified the weapon as a .32 caliber handgun stolen in December....
...The shooting follows by a few months the conviction in nearby Pontiac of Nathaniel Abraham, who was only 11 at the time of his alleged crime. Abraham was the first youth to be charged with murder under a 1997 Michigan statute that allows children of any age to be prosecuted as adults for serious crimes. Oakland county authorities pursued the case against Abraham in order to establish a precedent and legitimize the 1997 law....
Recently, someone stated in the USA House that the elderly are playing Worlds of Warcraft to enhance their cognition. It is a lie, the elderly involved with mental alertness are using scientifically based games that are measurable.
Worlds of Warcraft is a cartoon. As a matter of fact, there is a venue in that video game in which there are homeless being kept from empty homes. The venue is "Westfall."
It doesn't come close to the real live issues of some of these games. The video games most frequently instilling a sense of military do have the problem. But, not all video games have the components to instill aggressive demeanors of their participants.
Nothing has changed since "Bowling for Columbine." There is a path of the military industrial complex completely traceable to Colorado. It is amazing.
The morning of the Columbine shootings President Clinton appeared twice in the media. The first was to announce the increased attacks in Kosovo and the second was an hour later to announce the deaths in Columbine. The connection can be questioned between the two acts, but, the timing is there. To my knowledge there was no timeline to the attacks at Columbine High School by the two gunmen, but, they had a dreamscape and it was to end the global violence of the USA. We know that for a fact. Highjacked aircraft crashing to the ground and ending USA dominance. It was all there. The two boys were determined to stop the military prowess of their nation.
Michael encourages everyone to continue to instill the need of Congress to act to protect citizens' lives from guns. All 3.3 million.

(AP) NEW HAVEN, Conn.- An arsenal of weapons (click here) including guns, a gun safe with shotgun shells, a bayonet and several swords were found in the home of the gunman who carried out the Newtown school shooting, according to search warrants released Thursday....
The families of Sandy Hook Elementary School violence now have more proof of the consent by the gunman's mother to conduct himself in a real and violent fashion regardless of his anger. This proof provides a reason to sue her estate.
I have a challenged son. He has a family now of his own. He grew up along side his brother playing GI Joe on a 7 foot aircraft carrier in the living room. He was in JROTC in High School. He was on the JROTC High School Drill Team. But, at no point in his life was he given permission to find 'power' over his disabilities with violence. He never handled a gun in his years of JROTC. Neither did his brother. His entire life was laced with appreciation of nature. I don't think even today he ever put a gun in his hands nor has he a desire to do so. It is just his value system.
Racism driven by fear with a resolve to hatred and anger that the problems won't go away. That is the culture of fear in the USA. It is a national shame and the gun addiction is evidence of it. Since the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting the NRA has driven fear into the circumstances. The culture of fear works for the NRA and it victimizes ever citizen in this country.
