To what extent is Bowling For Columbine about the shootings in Littleton?

Michael Moore used the shootings in Columbine as a jumping-off point for a general look at America and gun violence. He only very peripherally touches on the Columbine shooting, although he does use one of the victims of the shooting as a spokesperson to ask the corporate office of the store that sold the shooters their bullets to stop selling bullets.





If you're looking for a documentary that is specifically about the Columbine shootings, Bowling for Columbine isn't it.





(The title comes from what, supposedly, the two shooters did just before they went on their rampage. They had an early-morning bowling class that day.)
