I found a few words after all. I want, I insist, I demand that there be no metal detectors, no firearms restrictions in any court or legislative body in this country, especially the Supreme Court. If anyone and I mean ANYONE can carry ultra-lethal firearms anywhere my grandchildren can be, then the judges and politicians should face the same threat. And for the same "reason" (something to do with having muskets at hand so you can join a militia to suppress a slave uprising). Let Brett, Amy, Neal, Clarence, Sam, and John face what we face. (That guy over there with violin case... he's really gonna take a violin lesson after this court session?)
In the midst of so much insanity, it is comforting to know someone with a large platform is willing to speak the truth. Our immediate task is to spread it far and wide. Thank you Michael Moore.
Others. Yes fear the others.One thing I’ve noticed when I visit my friends in mid Michigan is the lack of “ others”. My doctor is South Asian,my dentist Korean,my landlord and nephews wife Portuguese,my landlords wife a black woman from Dominican. Lots of “others”here in Canada.All of them very kind to me. The things we don’t have are open carry,the ability to buy a gun without a serious background check, and assault weapons aren’t available to civilians. We have about 600 gun deaths a year and rarely a mass shooting. As Michael has stated “ others” aren’t the problem.
At first, I was taken aback at the rage so evident in your words. And then I realized that you are absolutely right to be enraged. The time for reasoned arguments is long past. Thank you for saying what we all need to be saying right now!
Where are all the photos of Crimo draping himself in a tRump 2020 flag? Should be front and center of every publication. You better believe it would be hot topic #1 if Biden had been his fixation.
Why not rethink this matter? Maybe, I'm being simple minded, but it seems to me that the Second Amendment only grants the right for Americans to own guns. It places no such right for Americans to own ammunition. So, why not place limits on the ownership of ammunition?
I wanted to say how deeply grieved I feel over these massacres and that the astonishing refusal of a huge body of people in congress to do anything constructive to stop it brings us right back to WW2 when people knew of the extermination camps and did nothing. The GOP _WANTS_ these attacks to go on, that's what we have got to face. Many democrats and voters also simply don't care except that now maybe they are becoming worried they will be hit next.
Thank you for saying it the way it needed to be said. We have become a country full of brutes and why? The supreme court justices got protection while making us all unsafe. None of my daughters wanted to attend fireworks this year because they said that it scared them and it reminded them of gunshots. Shame on us!
Michael — While it was hard to read, you again have hit it “right between the eyes”. All these things are so true. I wondered as well why the officers were so quick to claim it wasn’t racially or “religiously” motivated in such a highly populated Jewish city. Your leadership is greatly appreciated.
Alas, wasn't it easier when we had Middle Eastern terrorists to hate? Now we have to hate people who look just like us, eat in the same restaurants, occupy the same beaches or horse stables in the Crumbley case. We jumped over ourselves to enact new laws to stop Middle Easterners from immigrating to the US, added scores of spooks to the FBI. Let Trump fill the airwaves with venom toward those from elsewhere. When the bullet user, the drag queen murderer goes to an upscale town in Illinois, there's hardly a voice saying "ban AR 15s." I wish people could gather round, Daniel Defense, that specifically markets its AR15s at young, restless white boys. Heavy duty Trump contributor who fancies himself as a patriot. He sells video games with kids using his guns. Does it get any worse? We need to go after the gun manufactures. Otherwise we aren't safe anywhere.
I agree with Michael completely here. In addition to writing accurate descriptions of the horrors inflicted on civilians made by military weapons, the press should provide a tally on a daily basis of the total number of Americans across the country to die from gun violence. If news outlets delete the daily Wall Street Market reports, they'd have enough space to report the number of innocents who died protecting the 2nd Amendment.
Where is Biden’s outrage? I’m so glad he was elected, I supported him and I still do. But I feel we need more strength of conviction coming from our president over this outrage and other huge issues we have threatening us but I’m afraid he may not be the one we need at this time. I worry if Biden runs again he may lose the confidence of most voters and we end up with someone like DeSantis or god forbid Trump again and then we are truly fucked.

Holy cow. I've never read anything that good, that spot-on, that perfect-o about anything. I'm at a loss for words. Fortunately, Michael Moore isn't.
I am a Vietnam vet who served in the infantry. I agree 100% with every word of it.

That is a gut punch, and you are so right. I have no words--- you have said it and I still feel it. Blessings, Michael.

Words truer were never spoken. Spot on Michael.
