Bowling for columbine

Hello :)
A couple weeks ago, my class saw a movie called "Bowling for columbine" which involved guns and weapons. Unfortunately I was on vacation while they saw the movie, so I've only seen 25 minutes of the movie.
But here's a few things from the movie, I find strange..

1. The scene where Michael Moore opens a bank account, and gets a free gun.
- What? Open an account and get a gun? What type of bank is that? That's wrong. I know you some places can get some free stuff if you become a member... but a gun? And the person who helped Michael creating the account told him, the bank has a lot of weapons you can choose between. I'm chocked! That's very unnecersary.

2. The way, many people think it's allright to have a gun.
- In the beginning of the movie, people are acting like having a gun is a norm. And maybe it is for them. But I still can't  imagine a society where everyone has a gun. But I guess if you grew up such a place, you would be use to it.

As you can hear, I am against guns for privat use.. exept for hunting, or another kind of hobby :-)
