Need statistical help!

[True Texan]

I have to analyze Michael Moore’s "Making of America", :barf: for a college class. In order to create a cohesive argument against Moore's video I would like some statistics on gun owners, "gun crime", etc. I only have until Sunday night to do this. Can anybody provide me with websites where I can get facts? Also, any advice on creating an argument against the film would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Barf.....

I think I'd rather take an "F" than complete this assignment.....

What class is this in?

I would check out www.keepandbeararms.com

"What class is this in?"

Ironically, U.S. History; it is a new idea that several professors are trying. We were showed the video today and it ceased to be funny after about 15 seconds. It can be found on you tube if you search "Michael Moore making of America". At first I thought it was an episode of South Park.

I have to admit, it *did* take several seconds of Googling to find that.

One point you want to pound on is the number of firearms in private ownership that are NOT used in crimes. This heavy ratio of noncriminal use vs criminal use sort of says how dangerous firearms are.

Mike Moore is a bone head that is trying to make a name for him self in the glitter lights of Cal. I poop in his direction!

rent this

There's a movie I want to see that may help.

"Manufacturing Dissent"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0961117/
I haven't seen it yet, but it's in our Netflix que.
It is a documentary about Moore's film making tactics.

"Point Blank: Guns and Violence in America", Gary Kleck

This was probably the seminal publication dealing with guns and there use.
Not just shootings, but other uses.
