    not have such a high gun violence and loose gun control laws. Moore uses music, archival footage, humor, and real-life interviews to get his point across to the viewer. In the scene when Moore plays the song Happiness is a Warm Gun by the Beatles he uses various videos of people with guns in order to show how guns are seen as such an unimportant object that “aren't that dangerous.” Moore does not have a specific audience in mind for this film; he wants everyone to see how guns are dangerous…

One…
