Because: the truth hurts liars.

Fact: The Denver event was not a demonstration relating to Columbine, but an
annual meeting (see links below), whose place and date had been fixed years
in advance.

Fact: At Denver, the NRA cancelled all events (normally several days of
committee meetings, sporting events, dinners, and rallies) save the annual
members' voting meeting -- that could not be cancelled because the state law
governing nonprofits required that it be held. [No way to change location,
since under NY law you have to give 10 days' advance notice of that to the
members, there were upwards of 4,000,000 members -- and Columbine happened
11 days before the scheduled meeting.] As a newspaper reported:

B. Mt. Morris shooting/ Flint rally. Bowling continues by juxtaposing
another Heston speech with a school shooting of Kayla Rolland at Mt. Morris,
MI, just north of Flint. Moore makes the claim that "Just as he did after
the Columbine shooting, Charlton Heston showed up in Flint, to have a big
pro-gun rally."


  Fact: Heston's speech was given at a "get out the vote" rally in Flint,
which was held when elections rolled by some eight months after the shooting
( Feb. 29 vs Oct. 17, 2000).
