I took that to mean there are forces at play OTHER than just having firearms.
Anyone else remember that part of the film? I know its a trashy hit piece, but it was on Netflix, and I got bored in an airport once.

I do remember that as being the "moral" of the story. I think Moore's biggest issue with the NRA was the fact that they were going from national tragedy to national tragedy setting up rallies in an attempt to counter the gun control arguments that pop up after a mass shooting.

I do remember that part. I also remember the part where he walked down a block in Canada and simply walked into every closed-but-unlocked door he found and started talking to the residents. I don't remember how many he found, but it was a huge percentage of the one's he tried...
