Again, Michael Moore is a complete tool, that takes snippets of actual events and then rearanges them so the meaning is completely different to support his conclusions.

Read about the distortions regarding Heston and the NRA here, at this link
http://www.hardylaw.net/Truth_About_Bowling.html

Complete with links to news articles from the time, transcipts of Heston's speech, as well as a long list of other crap he blanantly lies about.

It is all BS.

His book will be the next I read.
Just be aware that his books are "political humor," (aka fiction) From the Wall Street Journal Opinion Journal:
Quote:
In print, too, Mr. Moore plays fast and loose with the facts. In his "Stupid White Men," his best-selling book, he blithely states that five-sixths of the U.S. defense budget in 2001 went toward the construction of a single type of plane and that two-thirds of the $190 million that President Bush raised in his 2000 campaign came from just over 700 individuals, a preposterous assertion given that the limit for individual contributions at the time was $1,000.
When CNN's Lou Dobbs asked Mr. Moore about his inaccuracies, he shrugged off the quesiton. "You know, look, this is a book of political humor. So, I mean, I don't respond to that sort of stuff, you know," he said.

"Glaring inaccuracies?" Mr. Dobbs said.

"No, I don't. Why should I? How can there be inaccuracy in comedy?"
