YMMV: Bowling For Columbine
  • Anvilicious
    • Some Anvils Need to Be Dropped: American gun crime is out of control. American fear is out of control and its practically destroying United States from inside.
  • Internet Backdraft
  • Strawman Has a Point: Moore originally planned to criticize the National Rifle Association's "Guns Don't Kill, People Do" motto. He then learned that there were much higher gun ownership rates in countries other than America (which have much lower gun-related violence statistics), making him believe that their motto more or less correct.
    • From a purely academic point of view, research on this particular topic has yet to provide a definitive answer of any kind and it's a polarizing subject, even in academia.
  • Tear Jerker: An interview with one Colorado man who remembers the massacre (and starts openly weeping) brings this to mind.
    • The emergency call from the Elementary School after the shooting of Kayla Rolland. It’s horrible hearing her voice.
