the bank which gives you the gun. They only actually carry display models for each gun, and they don't give you the gun themselves. You have to wait a month for background checks to be carried out, and the gun is then ordered from the manufacturer. You can't just turn up, open an account and get the gun. But then that would be no use to Mike
No-one is disputing that the bank does give away guns - but the whole point is that Moore is saying that the gun problem is so bad in the States because - LOOK! I CAN WALK STRAIGHT INTO A BANK AND THEY WILL GIVE ME A GUN STRAIGHT AWAY!!!. We'll ignore the fact that you, um, can't. He's highlighting how easy it is to get guns, but doesn't choose the best example. I think that is a lie personallly
As for the Heston editing, paraphrasing a speech is one thing, but to purposefully pick and choose bits from different speeches, made months apart is nasty, deceitful and wrong.
