Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
We should be licensing everybody with a gun. I have to have a license for my dog. I have to have a license for my car. If you're going to do my hair later you have to have a license... We don't require a license to own a firearm?
The left, liberals, believe that if we just have more gun control laws, all the problems are going to go away. Well, I don't think so. I don't think so. I think - yes, it will, it will be reduced. There's no question about that.
I'm not a pundit. I'm not an analyst. I don't want to participate in the existing debate that's going on about whether or not you should be able to have as many guns as you want to have or that guns are even the problem.
I made 'Bowling for Columbine' in the hope the school shootings would stop and that we would address the issue of how easy it is to get a gun in the United States, and tragically, those school shootings continue.
If you reduce the guns and the ammo, you'll reduce the murders.

I hadn't even thought about it -- you're making me nervous.
I'm happy that he's taken the steps that I, and others, have pushed for. The biggest change is for them to say they will employ no one under the age of 18. I've been pushing for that for over a year now, so I'm very happy that he's come this far, this fast. I honestly didn't think that five weeks after the movie came out they would do this.
It used to be if you worked hard and the company prospered, you prospered, ... Now, the company prospers -- but you lose your job.
The vast majority of the guns in the U.S. are sold to white people who live in the suburbs or the country. When we fantasize about being mugged or home invaded, what's the image of the perpetrator in our heads? Is it the freckled-face kid from down the street - or is it someone who is, if not black, at least poor?
