How exactly? Or is this your opinion?

This is not the case. Twist how the film is actually presented if you will, but don't expect to score any points this way with me.

The ommission doesn't constitute deception? Are you kidding? Moore made it appear the the NRA continued with business as usual, and that they made no concessions.

If you have every right to the opinion that Moore made it appear this way and you have every right to have the opinion that this is deceptive. I did not get that impression.
I got the impression, that regardless of circumstances, the NRA did indeed have a meeting in Denver soon after Columbine and that the Mayor asked them not to and that people protested the meeting and that Charlton Heston used a speech at that meeting to repeatedly berate the Mayor for asking the group not too have the meeting so soon after the tragedy. I did not and still do not feel decieved in any way with regards to this part of the movie.

Piercing your subtly here- I have neither accepted nor ignored facts out of simple prejudice either way. It is an error to assume that I am totally sympathetic to Moore and uniformily agree with his opinions and political perspectives. It is also an error to assume that if this were the case- I would overlook dishonesty, lies, and deception. These implications are clearly and plainly wrong, and you seem to, predictably, attack what you imagine as the motives of the poster rather than the topic at hand. Considering this and the aformentioned nature of this discussion becoming a circular rehash of opinions, I will probably refrain from responding to your inevitable reply.
Good Day,
