Michael Moores thesis is that weapons are too easy to get. He shows this in the beginning of the movie by going to a bank, and by opening an account in the bank they give you a free gun of your choice.
He also shows this by showing archival footage of the columbine school massacre. Two young kids have weapons and force everyone into one room, then they open fire on all of the students, killing twelve and injuring many. The young kids who commited the murders had registered weapons and bought their ammo at the local K Mart. He used this video to show that weapons are to easy to get.
