Today, we got the chance to watch a documentary called "Bowling for Columbine" which is created by Michael Moore. I think it was a good movie but there are various reasons as to the gun violence in America, mostly being the breakdown in morals that parents should instill in children but are too busy with trying to keep up financially in this greedy society, also the media (news, video games, movies, music) influences people more than they think, and also laziness- school officials need to do something when they see people being picked on, its part of their job to help ensure the well being of their students and the lazy people who don't keep up with their guns or fails to properly secure them enough to be able to have a underaged person easily take a weapon from them.

Personally, I think the messages that he was trying to convey are:
1. Guns are too easy to get in this country
2. The difference in criminal activity between our America and other countries such as Canada (who has virtually no crime).
