[edit]Actually, I just read everything again and it's even simpler than that. Why did Moore focus on guns? Because the film is (supposed to be) about the Columbine Kids, and they used guns. Which got the whole gun debate started.[/edit]
So do you think that if the kids had set off there explosives as they intended and killed the SWAT team, newsgroups and then tried to steal the plane at the airport, the movie would be about bombs??? Also the kids acquired the guns illegally, why are lax laws to blame for people acquiring items illegally?? Do you believe lax laws are responsible when someone acquires other items illegally?? Harris was a psychopath, he chose to do his killing at the school, he needed guns to control the situation so he could set up his real weapons, ie the bombs. They intended there killing to be the largest on American soil (and if the bombs went off 600+ would have made that true until Sept 11), this isnt a couple of kids with guns, this is a psychopath and his partner, trying domestic terrorism (they originally planned on carrying it out on the annivsary of the OK City bombing) at a huge level. Guns and Gun culture have little to do with Columbine for anyone who knows what really was planned for that day.
