Bowling For Columbine

I am a little confused as to why the bank would even consider giving out a free gun when you open a new account. I would feel like this is an invitation to a more severe problem like, uhh, armed robbery. Come on people. Then you can go get a hair cut and get free ammunition for that free gun. What were they thinking? Leave that to the guns shops and the people who know what there are doing. GUNS DO NOT BELONG IN A BANK NOR DOES AMMUNITION BELONG AT A BARBER SHOP!!
I live in a house of hunters, my father and his father were hunters, and I myself am one, but i don't feel that this was a good choice. This has contributed to the children getting a hold of the guns. The childs mentallity is, "I can be like Dad. I am going to show my friends.", thats when they take the gun to school and show off what they got from home which in turn has killed innocent children. I feel they should make the parents accountable. For the six year old that was shot, they were living with mom's brother. If he knew that children were coming into his home, you would think he would make it as safe as possible. I feel he should be held accountable becuase the child was under his care while mom was working. In the Columbine shooting, I feel that every child involved in shooting the other children should be tried as adults. They knew what they were doing. They knew what could be the results. They knew that taking these guns to school was the wrong thing to do.
My husband and I have protected our children from getting guns and ammunition for years. We have purchased gun locks for the guns and a safe to put them in. There is no possible way that our children can get them. That is what the gun handlers should inplement. They should be required under law to have the guns locked up unless you are using them. Why didn't the bank put a trigger lock on the gun? Maybe back then they did have them. I can under stand that but like I said if they were handing out guns they should have gone one step further to protect the children in some way or form. May be not even given out a gun. They could have easily given out an appliance or something to that effect. Instead of a book of guns, have them pick out an appliance that could have used. It could have been just as effective getting people to open account. And thats all it was about. They just wanted people to open an account with them. What they don't realize is that yeah they opened an account but after they get there gun , they won't close the account?
This Charlston Heston thing really bothered me a bit as well. He said in his interview with Michael that he didn't know about the shooting when he did his NRA speech. I disagree. Why would he be at two towns that both had killings there 1 day later? I feel he knew it was wrong but because he was a celebrity he didn't care. Dick Clark is another clebrity that was thrown in this movie. I feel Michael shouldn't have even brought him in the picture. He didn't care nor did he want to talk about this childs mother who was working for him. He didn't care that they got shot and killed. I mean It really wasn't his fault. She was just a worker but my goodness show a little compassion for your emploees. Her child just got accidentally killed. again like I said what did he have to do with anything?
Guns have been around for hundreds of years. The NRA had to go in there because they had to show that it wasn't the gun that was the problem it was the people behind the guns that kill. The anti gun people were there right beside the NRA and was rallying to get it so guns were wiped out. Look at what they did at Kmart? It was an anti gun movement that Michael did. Taking those 2 Columbine victims to Kmart to have then talk to upper management and get the Ammunition removed from the stores.
