Bowling for Columbine

1:42:01
- Richard, nice to meet you.
- And this is Mark Taylor.

1:42:04
- Mark.
- And they're students

1:42:06
from Columbine High School.
They were shot at Columbine,

1:42:10
in the massacre,
with bullets from K-Mart.

1:42:13
- You came a long way.
All the way from Colorado.

1:42:16
- Yeah, I just...
I was thinking that...

1:42:20
since you stopped selling
the handguns and all,

1:42:22
it'd kind of make sense to stop
selling the bullets too.

1:42:26
- Our request is that you get rid
of nine-millimetre bullets

1:42:29
and that you don't sell them
in the store completely.

1:42:32
- We do carry... You probably
are aware of K-Mart -

1:42:34
hopefully, you're shoppers
at our stores -

1:42:37
that we do only carry, you know,
sporting firearms

1:42:41
and the accessories
that go with the hunting sport.

1:42:46
And we'll certainly take your
message to our chairman and CEO,

1:42:49
Chuck Conaway.
He's not here today.

1:42:52
- He's not here today?
- No. He's not here, actually,

1:42:54
this whole week.
- Not at all during the week?

1:42:57
Do you have a limit on the
number of bullets, ammunition,

1:43:00
that people can purchase?
- You know, I can't answer

1:43:02
these questions for you.
I'm not the merchandiser

1:43:04
who places those products
in our stores.

1:43:06
- Can we speak to that person?
1:43:07
- But I can get answers
to those questions for you.

1:43:09
If you leave your card, I could
get those answers for you.

1:43:12
- We don't want to leave a card.
1:43:14
The reason why
we can't take a card

1:43:16
and come back
is because Mark here,

1:43:18
he's got a K-Mart bullet
just an inch away... right?

1:43:21
- Yeah.
- From your aorta.

1:43:23
- In between my aorta and spine.
- Between your aorta and spine.

1:43:26
- I'm glad to see that
you're still able to stand.

1:43:29
- And I told him that somebody
here would listen,

1:43:32
somebody here would... would...
1:43:34
would take the request
seriously. Not just a PR person,

1:43:38
but somebody who has some
authority and can answer

1:43:40
some of the questions
that they want answered.

1:43:43
- K-Mart does care about this,
1:43:45
but I can't go any further
right now.

1:43:47
So until I make a call, um,
1:43:49
I'm gonna go back to the office
1:43:51
and see if there's anyone
in merchandising...

1:43:54
- Mary went back upstairs.
And two hours later,

1:43:58
she brought down this guy whose
job it is to buy the bullets
