Michael Moore, though I think he means well, is a rabblerouser, IMO.

As far as the quote, yes, I believe it. After all, you can kill someone with your own two hands. It's all in the state of mind of the person.

I strongly support the 2nd amendment, but like Griff, am not a gun nut. The way I see it, based on my research, guns aren't the problem. I don't care how the Brady Campaign or any gun control group tries to spin stats. It's all in the interpretation, really...and how legitimate the numbers and sources are.

I saw some recent murder stats for some of the major cities in the US...and it would seem that the rates were driven by how effective the police force was and economic factors. Here in Philadelphia, the number of murders was up 20%. And I'm not surprised...our economy sucked ass, and there are a ton of problems within the Philadelphia Police Department.

And from what I understand, the number of attacks with weapons like knives has gone through the roof Down Under...
