Bowling For Columbine

• The issues addressed in the documentary are the circumstances that lead to the high school massacre at Columbine. He addresses the gun laws in the U.S. and how easy it is for really anyone to buy and own a gun. He also explores the idea of the high homicide rate in America compared to other countries and wants to figure out why.
• These issues continue to have meaning and relevance today because there are still high school shootings in the U.S. Unfortunately we are still facing these issues today and they are getting worse, more high school shootings have occurred and more children and students have dies due to the loose laws on gun control.
• Moore uses an example of Kmart and how they sold ammunition. They showed how easy it was to walk in and buy it. He also used the example by showing that you get a free gun by giving a bank your business. 
• Potential bias the filmmaker has is he ads in his side of the story every time, he doesn't seem to get other views involved. While he does talk to many pro gun individuals, the questions he asks can sometimes be hard for them to answer without them feeling judged, so they are hesitant in explaining their opinion. He asks one-sided questions where he sets up their answer basically for failure, so they do not know how to respond and don't fully get to explain their views.
• The example that persuaded me was him walking into Kmart and easily buying ammunition. Then he goes on to talk to other individuals living in Littleton and how easy it is for them to receive a gun. This then explains why an elementary student can perform the action he did by shooting a fellow student. This example, is terrifying to hear about and really scared and persuaded me that gun laws need to be stricter.
• Solutions offered by the film, are to create awareness and not sit back. Like they did to Kmart by talking to people with authority and getting press involved. Together we can make steps to improve gun laws and create a safer environment. Many people, much less children should not be able to get their hands on a gun and therefore to stop this we need to spread awareness and make an effort to eliminate massacres such as the one at Columbine.
• As a result of this film viewers should spread the knowledge and inform society, that what was going on in 2002 is getting worse today and we don't need to see more people, and children die in order to start making a change and a difference. We need to unite and work together to make people of authority pay attention and make a difference.
