Brucie,

People do have assault rifles in their homes. They are stolen and sold on the streets. No locked gun cabinet is secure enough. If they weren't available, this would help stop their proliferation. Perhaps next we should advocate freedom to own hand grenades. Where does this stop?

As to prohibition, the logic is this. We prohibit crime. Does this mean that we should lift the ban on murder, rape, arson, fraud, drunk driving etc.because if we don't people will do it more? That's crazy.

As to the effect of the media on the masses, it has become more and more irrelevant in its journalistic accuracy.

As to the Second Amendment, there are no well-ordered militias today that need to defend against foreign invaders. The so-called right to gun ownership is questionable.

Guest,

Micheal Moore is only doing what Fox News does 24/7. The only difference is that in my opinion, Moore is far more factual and accurate.
And fair and balanced.

As to Charlton Heston, he knew what he was getting in to. He's been in show business for years. He represents one of the most powerful lobbies in Washington and was selected as its spokesperson precisely because he knows what he was doing.
