Filmmaker Asks City to Shun Local Gun Maker
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, film crew in tow, asked the
Chino City Council Tuesday to pass a resolution stating that a local
handgun manufacturer is not welcome there.
Moore, who directed "Roger and Me," said the company, Davis
Industries, produced a .32-caliber handgun that was used by a 6-year-old
boy in Moore's hometown of Flint, Mich., to kill a first-grade classmate.
"I know you need businesses here. I know you need jobs," Moore said. "But
not at the expense of the lives of children."
On Feb. 29, 2000, Moore said, the boy took the gun to class, pointed
it at 6-year-old Kayla Rowland and pulled the trigger.
