Well, I can't comment on the movie because I didn't see it. But on a rhetorical aspect, if anyone has to present gun rights, gun violence, the NRA, etc. in a light which is favorable to the left, then the facts have been distorted. This is simply because the facts, and especially the logic, are on the side of gun rights. If you can find a bookstore objective enough to present both sides of the issue, peruse the shelves for volumes regarding gun control. There are currently 4 or 5 bestselling books, and scores of others, all written by reputable researchers, which determine that gun control simply does not work, while presenting compelling reasons why the 2nd Amendment is so important to all of us-- and why guns reduce crime.
Only one major volume has been written recently in favor of gun control, and it has been widely panned-- by both right-wing and left-wing-- as a dishonest and distorted piece of "journalism." The book, Arming America , by Michael Bellesiles, won an award after left-wing media pundits vacuously praised it as some great "eye-opener." Never mind that he disregarded material which contradicted his position, or that he fabricated records and other historical information to bolster it. The award he won for this sham of a book was at one time in danger of being repealed.
The books which research the issue and tell it like it is, are:
Richard Poe, The Seven Myths of Gun Control
John Lott, More Guns, Less Crime (The definitive source for the truth about the gun issue.)
Wayne LaPierre & Jame Jay Baker, Shooting Straight: Telling the Truth About Guns in America
Aaron Zelman & Richard Stevens, Death By Gun Control
Daniel Polsby (Independent Institute), Firearms and Crime (Nothing less than a purely objective study of guns and crime backed by solid numbers and statistics.)
Also, just because one has a membership to the NRA, doesn't mean one is in favor of gun rights, or the 2nd Amendment. For all we know he just recently purchased such a membership in an attempt to make his filmmaking viewpoints more convincing. Or he could be flat out lying. Michael Moore has demonstrated before that he is perfectly willing to be less than honest in order to carry out his Socialist agenda. He has a political ax to grind.
