The central idea is not clear

Aside from other things, the film does not give any reason why the gun crime rate is so high in the United States, and there is no center line, like a shrew. Let's take a look. At the beginning, I basically stated the Columbine incident and interviews with people around it, and then started to find the reasons. 1. The United States produces a large number of weapons. To this end, he also interviewed a spokesperson for Lockheed Martin, and then attacked Charlton Heston, who was then the chairman of the NRA, saying that his rally promoted the proliferation of guns. After simply refuting that Marilyn Manson was not the cause of the anger of young people, he began to abuse the American media again. 2. The racial tendency of the media is obvious. What does this have to do with the high crime rate in the United States? Black people will not shoot and kill because they attacked black people on TV. Then he went to Canada, and slammed his first inference. 3. The proliferation of weapons is okay. Canada has proliferation of weapons, but the law and order has always been very good. The reason is that everyone is generally not afraid...At this point, it is certain that this fat man must not know the cause and effect. 4. Weapons are too easy to buy. I found a few people to make a noise at K-Mart and stopped the bullet business. Finally, I went to Charlton Heston's house and went off. Generally speaking, the film has no logic at all. What you said about 1234 is indeed true, but there is no connection at all, let alone the reason why one became the other. The whole documentary about a shrew scolding the street. But then Michael Moore is quite brave, but it doesn't matter whether the film is good or bad. That's it, it's time to watch the news.

Father of Columbine victim: But that, to me, brings up an important question; then what is so different about Americans? Are we homicidal in nature? Because in Europe and Australia... Most other free-world countries they don't have this. They don't have people who snap and go on murderous rampages.
Michael Moore: Well no, they're just like us. I mean, they have the occasional person that snaps and kills a lot of people. How about a British soccer riot? Those aren't Quakers there...
Father of Columbine victim: Every time that I bring up comparisons with other free-world countries, what I hear is; "Oh, our culture is so different. We're so different". And as you said, they have violent video games, they have violent movies, they have alienated youth... They, like us, don't have prayer in schools. What is so radically different? What is it about us?
