I think Moore is full of it, but your comments reminded me of that part of the documentary.

Yeah, that was when Moore went into a Canadian Walmart and bought ammunition.
The Canadian Government responded to that clip and accused him of basically faking it

Canadian officials have pointed out that the buy is faked or illegal: Canadian law has since, 1998, required ammunition buyers to present proper identification. Since Jan. 1, 2001, (sorry--link broke--it was a Canadian government info site) it has required non-Canadians to present a firearms borrowing or importation license, too. (Bowling appears to have been filmed in mid and late 2001).
