Michael Moore gets hot on gun control

By MACKENZIE WEINGER | 7/24/12 6:03 PM EDT

Filmmaker Michael Moore on Tuesday posed a tough question for President Barack Obama on gun control.

The director of “Bowling for Columbine,” a documentary about the 1999 massacre at a Colorado high school, said the president has to be the “leader” on the issue and praised his speech in Aurora, Colo., as “powerful," but added that he wondered what Obama would do if his two daughters had been in the theater where last week's mass shooting took place.

“And yet when he brought his own children into it, when he said, you know, my two daughters go to the movies and what if it were them — well I guess if President Obama is watching right now, and I say this with all due respect: What if it were them?” Moore said on “Piers Morgan Tonight” in a clip released before the 9 p.m. broadcast. “What if it were them last Thursday night? Would you stand at the microphone the next day and say I feel your pain and, you know, the existing gun laws, that’s what he said, the existing laws are enough. Is that really what you’d say, Mr. President? I don’t think so.”

Moore's temperature rose as he called for people to "rise up and say, "Dammit, this is not the America I'm going to live in.'"

"And I am not going to come on another damn TV shows, either, after the next one of these shootings, Pierce, because I haven't done it for 10 years," he added. "To be nice to you, and you're a good guy, and you made a good case to me to come on. But I'm sick of this.

The same guy made lots of money bashing defense stocks amongst others, and then somebody outed him he was a big investor in these very stocks!

Classic talking out of both sides of his pie hole.

I have seen the images of the Peoples Army shooting schoolgirls before, was there a particular incident these photos were taken of? I saw some others where they were lined up in a ditch. It is hard to imagine even in the twisted communist mind what crime defenseless little girls did to get their heads blown off. Anybody who believes in gun control in this country is an idiot. There is a story I once read where a Russian farmer who had hunting rifles holed himself up in his farmhouse resisting Stalin's goons who had come for him. The guns at least gave him the chance to go out fighting, he died free.

"Dammit, this is not the America I'm going to live in.'"

Oh if this were only true, I would celebrate our area having one less fat stupid radical leftist slob destroying our view beautiful up here. These libtards always threaten to leave and end up disappointing us all when they don't.............
