I realize its cold comfort, but lets keep **** in perspective, huh? We need more parachutes, thats where your anger should be directed. Think of all the lives saved. Keep the guns, give out chutes and the deaths drop considerably. Duh. Moore does need to lose a few pounds, or he wont be around for his next umentary or whatever. BTW, numero uno was auto accidents, mainly caused by buffoons that were not paying attention or driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs and shortened attention spans, like placing the DVD in the headrest so johnny will shut up or all the above. Soccer moms that tailgate kill more people than guns. Cant argue with ignorance. :p
