The filmmaker behind Bowling for Columbine has responded to calls for comment following the latest U.S. mass shooting.
Michael Moore wrote a Facebook post describing America's national symbol as the gun, not the bald eagle.
'With due respect to those who are asking me to comment on last night’s tragic mass shooting ... I no longer have anything to say about what is now part of normal American life,' Moore wrote.
'Everything I have to say about this, I said it 12 years ago,' he said, referencing his 2002 documentary in which he explored the possible causes of the horrific Columbine High School massacre in 1999 carried out by teens Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold.

I didn't realize that things that happen less than 25 times a year, in a nation of over 300M people, constitutes as "normal". Yes, lets destroy the rights of hundreds of millions for less than a hundred victims a year. Makes total sense.
He killed 3 with a knife. To stop the madness, we must ban knives as well as guns. While we are at it, how about cars, trucks, and hammers. Every other mass killer in recent history has been a democrat on anti-psychotic drugs and I'm sure this one is too. Doctor prescribed drugs and idealogy (assuming this one fits the criteria)are the only common threads among these crazies. So if we ban anti psychotic drugs and liberals from owning guns, the problem will be solved, right?
Its the second amendment. You can't ban it.
When it's one of your children who is killed by a random shooting and you stand up and say, "The right of all Americans to bear arms supersedes the right for my child to live." Then I will believe what you say, until then, it's the same as people dying in our senseless wars that most Americans are completely out of touch with. Until such a tragic loss affects you personally, you will spout your weapon vitriol.
9:43 There's that liberal logic, let's tug at the heart strings. Moore is an idiot, who fear mongered, took your money, and sits back, fat and happy, behind his wall of hypocrisy.
Let's ignore his mental health, let's ignore that your government is failing to enforce ANY of the laws, and let's blame guns, and guns only. Genius. After guns, let's blame any TV over 18". Any vehicle with less than 4 wheels. And so on, and so on...
11:55 - 9:43 is NOT a liberal, just real.
What do you say about all the guns that saver lives? And what do you say to the founding fathers, and the millions of vets that gave all for your rights?
