Michael Moore: Americans desire to own guns stems from racial fears
8:03 PM 12/20
Friday night, on the heels of last weeks mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., the left-leaning Current TV is planning to air progressive filmmaker Michael Moores ten-year-old Columbine documentary Bowling for Columbine, with Moore revisiting the film to accuse American gun-owners of being motivated by racial fears.
Gun ownership, Moore said, cuts down to the heart of our race problem that we still havent resolved.

Well, there more to what he said. I have no problem with this excerpt:
"I think were a very frightened people, Moore said. I think weve been frightened ever since we landed on these shores.
We were frightened of the native people.; we were frightened of the slaves we brought over, as we should have been. And those in power have known how to manipulate us with fear. And weve started wars over being told lies about, you know whether it was in the Spanish-American War, the Mexican-American War. You can go through so many of these wars weve been in throughout history right up through the Iraq War where were just lied to because those in power knew if they just put enough fear out there. And the best kind of fear is the one that has the kernel of truth, so you have 9/11 happened thats a real incident, nearly 3,000 people lose their lives. Very easy at that point to use that fact in a way to tell a fiction.
I somewhat disagree with this excerpt:
"And I was fascinated in that subject when making Bowling for Columbine, of how fear is used to the point where everybody feels like theyve got to have a gun in the house. Now, not every house has a gun but weve got over a quarter-billion guns in peoples homes. And theyre mostly in the suburbs and rural areas where there is virtually no crime and no murder. So why is that? What are they really afraid of? What do they think of whos going to break into the house? Do they think its little freckled-face Jimmy down the street? I dont think so. I dont think thats who theyre afraid of. And it cuts down to the heart of our race problem that we still havent resolved. And I thought it would be interesting to take a look at that in the movie.

I don't think that racial fears are the sole reason for gun ownership, I think that there are a variety of factors and reasons for people's desire to own firearms.
