Micheal Moore is a memember of the NRA, and he stated that in the movie.
Abortion came up and heres my stance, it takes a father and a mother to create a kid, if its on a young woman (IE teenager), before marriage, then chances are that the relationship between the man and the women will not work out. If it doesnt work out, you've got a mother working her butt off, and looking for child support payments, and not attending to the best intrests of the child (IE raiseing him or her). Many people in this situation would leave the child with the grandparents, but grandparents are for babysitting, not for child support, and eventually the grandparents would try to put the responsibilty back on the mother/father, because of the fact that they are still working and quite possibly raiseing another child (younger sibling). Basically the mother cant afford the child, and it is neglected. I think this is in most situations, keeping in mind that teen pregnency is never intentional anymore. These situations are usually breeding grounds for criminals. If a child is accustomed to getting away with things, then that will most likely continue through to adulthood. There are exceptions to these cases, but i think this is how most of them go.
The mother of the child was living working on a work for welfare program. While this idea seems good on paper, the mother had to travel an hour minimum (one way), and was working two jobs to make ends meat. The child and the mother was staying at the mothers brothers house when the child found a loaded gun, and brought it to school, and shoot the other girl. Bottom line is, if that gun was properly taken care of (IE not loaded or left around) then that little girl would still be alive. This case isnt a stretch, there are many "oops" cases, where someone accidently shoots somone else. Bottom line is you guys need stricter gun laws, in Canada that gun had to be kept in a locked locker and unloaded. Transportation of the gun is a whole diffrent issue which i dont feel like going into right now.

Quote:Then they held another pro-gun rally in Maine after a boy shot another girl for no reason, both age 6
