In his documentary, Moore spends a lot of time telling us, how easy it
is to get a gun in US, how easy it is to buy bullets.  He certainly
implies that this easiness of obtaining weapons and ammunition causes
Americans to kill each other by thousands.  He starts crusade against
K--Mart for selling bullets and forces them to stop selling bullets.
He looks victorious, as if he saved many lives.  Well, look at
statistics for the years when K-Mart was selling bullets and for the
years it stopped.  I guarantee that this statistics was not swayed at
all.  Moore comes to Canada and sees that bullets here are as easy to
buy, as it is in US, nevertheless, there are a lot less murders in
Canada than in US.  So, what was the point to bully K-Mart?

Then comes his interview with Heston.  He poses to Heston a question,
which undermines the main idea of his film, namely, he mentions that
Canada has as many guns per person as US, but the number of people
killed in Canada is much-much smaller and he asks Heston why.  Old man
can not really explain, but funny thing: Moore can not explain either
and without this explanation, the whole fabric of his film crumbles and
brakes into pieces.  All what he reproached to Heston and NRA no longer
make any sense.

Well, Moore, I can give you an even more startling example: in
Switzerland every citizen by law is obliged to have a firearm in his
house, nevertheless, they kill each other much less than even Canadians
do.  WHY?
