Bowling for Columbine

Bowling for Columbine

 In the documentary “Bowling for Columbine”, Michael Moore uses varies example to show how easy it is to obtain guns and ammunition in the United States. In the United States there is an over-whelming amount of deaths because people are getting a hold of weapons and ammunition and not using them carefully.

The little boy from Buell elementary school brought a .32-caliber handgun and shot six-year-old girl is an example of how guns and ammunition are to easy to get in the United States. The little boy found the gun that he took to school at his uncle’s house laying on the floor loaded, all he had to do was pick up the gun.

In Michigan, Michael Moore found a bank that had a promotion that if you would open a certain type of bank account you would receive a free hunting riffle of your choice. That is probably one of the easiest way to get a gun in the US, as long as you have enough money to open up a bank account, you will get a gun, and to get the ammunition all you need to do is go to K-mart and get all the ammunition you want.

My final example of how guns and ammunition are to easy to obtain in the United States is the Columbine High School Massacre. Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, walked to the K-Mart right across the street, and bought a almost an unbelievable amount of ammuntion that they killed the 12 students, 1 teacher, and themselves with.

In Bowling for Columbine it has several good example of how it's way to easy to obtain guns and ammunition in America, and a lot of Americans seem to totally blind to the problem.  When teens are able to bring guns and ammunition to school and do with them what they wish, something needs to be done.
