Bowling for Columbine

:00:48

The National Rifle Association
has produced a film

:00:52

which you are sure
to find of great interest.

:00:55

Let's look at it.

:00:57

- It was the morning
of April 20th, 1999.

:01:01

And it was pretty much like
any other morning in America.

:01:05

The farmer did his chores,

:01:09

the milkman
made his deliveries,

:01:12

the president bombed
another country

:01:14

whose name
we couldn't pronounce.

:01:16

Out in Fargo, North Dakota,

:01:18

Carry McWilliams
went on his morning walk.

:01:22

Back in Michigan, Mrs. Hughes
welcomed her students

:01:25

for another day of school.

:01:27

And out in a little town
in Colorado,

:01:30

two boys went bowling

:01:31

at six in the morning.

:01:34

Yes, it was a typical day
in the United States

:01:36

of America.

:01:41

- Can I help you?
- Uh, yeah,

:01:44

I'm here to open up an account.

:01:46

- Okay, what type of account
would you like?

:01:48

- Um, I want the account where
I can, uh, get the free gun.

:01:51

- Okay.

:01:53

- I'd spotted an ad
in the local Michigan paper

:01:55

that said if you opened an
account at North Country Bank,

:01:58

the bank would give you a gun.
