You know, I don't even get why gun lovers get so defensive about this movie.
Ok, I understand that it made Charlton Heston look bad, and MAYBE unfairly so.
But the movie is hardly giving answers. I got the sense that he was trying to ask questions rather than offer answers. It didn't say, "Guns are bad, let's get rid of them." It asked, "What is it about American culture that causes so much gun-related homicide?" I think it's a legitimate question, and I think the "culture of fear" that he seems to lean toward believing is at the root of the problem is accurate.
