That's one gun for every twelve people on earth.
The question is...
How do we arm the other 11?
Thus started "Lord of War" - great movie so far.

The real future is going to look a lot less like the Enterprise and a lot more like the Borg.

Yep, it's good. Then again it was written by the same guy as Gattaca and The Truman Show.
i enjoyed it.
kind of a gun runner's "Blow".

Yeah, I liked it. More of a milieu movie than a plot-driven film, but very, very good.

A lot less sentimental than Blow, which bordered on tear-jerking.

What's your favorite form of opening? The action scene? The startling statement? The beauty shot? Or something else?

Something that frames the movie well.
- "The Fifth Element" with the truly freaky aliens in the pyramid
- The Indiana Jones movies with their flat-out action scenes
- "Wisdom"'s bookends
- "Sin City"'s bookends
- The opening scene of Star Wars was great at the time, but IMHO became orders of magnitude better with the completion of Revenge of the Sith, which framed the idea of Vader confronting his daughter, a rebel spy.
Generally I like endings more than openings, especially when they truly cap off the movie (the extra scenes in Wild Things which make it into a different movie, the song "Sin City" in Snake Eyes which echo the mournful loneliness of the protagonist, the plaintive cry of "Let me have one dance with you" which closes out The Zero Effect...)

Actually, I suspect there are rather more than 550 million. There are over 200 million guns in private hands in the US alone.

"There are over 200 million guns in private hands in the US alone."
Meaning for all intents and purposes everyone in America has one?

60 million registered users with around 200 million guns.
