bowling for columbine
Nicole LaChapelle 12 Feb 03 Criminology Bowling for Columbine This movie was actually quite interesting, although it started off rather slow. After Michael Moore stopped talking to the freaky guy that was friends with Ted Kazinzki, it started to pick up quite a bit. I will admit that I started to close my eyes at the beginning, but once it started up, it definitely caught my attention. I don’t believe that the movie was very forgiving to the NRA, but guns are not the root of all that is evil. I have always been around guns my entire life, especially with my father having been a cop for most of my life. I am for having a gun for protection, because I have always had one there if the need ever was raised. I was also shooting guns by about the age of five. However, at the same time, I also was raised to stay away from the guns, and that they were not something for me to go near without my father present, that they were not toys, and were capable of seriously harming someone, or killing someone. So from my point of view, I don’t see guns as being the reason that there is so much violence in the world.
