Politicians cited the massacre in their demands for greater gun control, and congressional Democrats held highly publicized hearings to pass gun control legislation. But gun control became an issue that hurt Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore in 2000, causing him to lose the election by losing the traditionally Democratic state of West Virginia, where the right to bear arms is valued. Since the 2000 election there has not been any significant political demands for gun control. Liberal filmmaker [[Michael Moore]] used the incident as the backdrop for an anti-gun documentary, ''Bowling For Columbine''.
