He complains that Americans are too violent.
It should be noted that people like Michael Moore don't need guns because they have bodyguards. Remember this? Fox News:

Police took Patrick Burke, who says Moore employs him, into custody after he declared he was carrying a firearm at a ticket counter. Burke is licensed to carry a firearm in Florida and California, but not in New York. Burke was taken to Queens central booking and could potentially be charged with a felony for the incident.

This is part of the problem with people like Moore; there are always ways around the rules for the elite.
