From my cold, dead hands! ~ Charlton Heston at an NRA meeting held in Denver, Colorado, shortly after the Columbine High School massacre in 1999

After watching Bowling for Columbine, I can't watch another Charlton Heston movie. Nevermind that he was Moses and is an oscar-winning actor - the man has loaded guns in his suburban, gated, most likely very highly secure home in LA. He says he feels safer that way.

Somtimes I just don't understand our "friendly" neighbours to the south.

Go and rent the movie - you'll discover a man - one-time cohort of Timothy McVeigh - who sleeps with a loaded gun under his pillow (again, because he feels safer that way), a woman who thinks that there are mostly white people in Canada, which she gives as her explanation as to why we don't have as many gun-related deaths here, and banks selling firearms...things that make you go hmmm...

While you're at it, go see Fahrenheit 9/11, another great Michael Moore film.

Mr. President, shame on you.

I wonder if I'm going to get tagged by US Intelligence for saying that?
