What kind of innacuracies?
Ah, let me list the ones that I remember:
1. That clip of Cheston holding up a gun and saying "from my cold, dead hands" didn't happen at the Denver meeting like Moore suggested, but actually took place one year later in North Carolina.
2. At the beginning of the movie where Moore walks into the bank to open an account and gets a free gun, he makes it seem as though they have the guns right there and that it only takes him a few moments to get the gun. The truth is that he had to wait two whole weeks and get a background check on him as the Brady law requires, and the gun he got was actually picked up at a seperate location, not at the bank itself. The guns they had there were display props.
You know, some of the points he makes in the documentary are very good (especially about how Japan--the home of tons of violent games and movies--has a very low murder rate while the U.S. does not) and it really would have been a lot better if he hadn't twisted certain facts.
