33. Living in Detroit, right next door to Windsor
I expected that Windsor's gun statistics would be comparable, but they are not.

Great, thought provoking documentary.

A few years ago, HBO did a documentary on violence in America. Their conclusion was it is violent here because it always has been. I was surprised to see this is the NRA's reasoning, too.

I think Michael Moore makes a very valid point that is being kept in a constant state of unrest and fear that is more responsible. It was very effective in the doc how he points out that alot of other countries (Britian, Germany, Japan) have violent histories, but do not have our shameful record of gun deaths.
