87. Anyone seen "Bowling for Columbine"
it compares American gun laws and violence to that of Canada. In Canada there is a high percentage of gun owners yet very little violence so it looks like its not the gun ownership that causes violence.

According to Michael Moore it is the constant fear mongering by our main stream media that is the main difference between gun violence in the U.S. and the lack of gun violence in Canada.

So if its violence we hope to curb, it looks like we are barking up the wrong tree by insisting that gun control is the answer.
