After living in a quiet place where I can leave my doors unlocked, I can't imagine moving to the states and having to bar my doors and carry a gun
That is a gross over-generaliztion. There are MANY places in the United States where you can leave your doors unlocked. (I live in one of them.) And there are MANY places in Canada that are dangerous and unsafe, just like there are in any country.

And I will venture to say that the only people "carrying guns" around in the USA are the criminals who have the guns illegally. And stricter laws aren't going to deter that element, anyway. I live in Wyoming - NRA/pro-gun capital of the world, I swear - and I've never seen anyone "carry a gun." Have a rifle in their truck during hunting season? Sure. But "carry a gun", as in pack a handgun around in your pocket or a six-shooter in your gun belt? Of course not. Be serious, it's 2003, not 1903.




What Moore's "Documentary" fails to show is that most (over 90%, don't know the exact stat) guns used in crime are posessed illegally. It also fails to show the FBI figures that credit privately owned firearms with stopping about 1.2 million crimes per year.
Excellent points. If I want to kill you, I can do it with my gun. I can also do it with my car, with my shovel, with my steak knife, with my hammer, with a brick, a rock, a bow and arrow, etc. The gun/hammer/rock is the tool I choose to perform a task. The tool is not inherently evil or good. If my son goes to the shooting range and shoots targets and soda cans with his .22, the gun is not inherently evil or bad. If my son uses a hammer to built a tree house, the hammer is not inherently evil or bad. The malice comes from the person using the tool, not the tool itself. Automobiles kill many, many, many times the amount of people guns do per year.
