There are strict gun control laws in Norway

Just a test run of Euro reation to an attack

an attach of what? some guys?

lol

and you seriously think that all and sundry being allowed guns would avert any situation?

Think again, Wild West comes to mind here!

I thank God there are not more places like Texas and Florida.

Apparently the gun law wasn't strict enough.

It allowed this guy to own guns.

Laws are not the answer to mankind's problem.

It's simply a LACK OF SANITY.

Probably due to our FEAR OF GOD and not knowing why we are living in hell...

Just a guess.

People in TX and FL are killed EVERY DAY by by guns.

Not so in Norway.

If you think laws would have stopped this from happening then you are a Moran. Might as well try to restrict and ban bombs while youre at it too. Totally futile.
Victim disarmorment is not a real solution.

Too bad nobody in Norway owns a gun, they might have been able to stop him. Just a bunch of sitting ducks instead.

If you are trying to support second amendment rights, stop doing that.

People who care about it don't want to look like retards.

Agreed.

In general, I think this sort of makes sense.

UN worldwide gun ban pushed by Clinton..

As the death toll continues to rise in Norway’s apparently related bombing and shooting attacks, a few truths are once again revealed for any who would see:

■Unarmed victims are defenseless and easy prey for any evil lunatic bent on slaughtering them at will. The adults at the youth camp were utterly unprepared to protect themselves, let alone their charges.

■People instinctively don’t question an armed man if he appears to be a police officer. Many of the same people react with horror at the sight of an armed citizen.

■The best defense against an active shooter is others with guns—it was not the unarmed who took the suspect into custody.

■Once more, “gun control” has proven useless. Many reports, if accurate, say the gunman used “automatic weapons,” which, except for some tightly regulated collector exemptions, are banned from civilian ownership in Norway.

■Once more, the race is on to tar an entire demographic for the actions of a deranged and monstrous individual, and to conflate “conservatives” with violent extremists.

Um, really?

I'm curious as to what he had. Reports said he handguns, a shotgun and "automatics". I would think handguns and automatics would be hard to get in Norway.

You stupid mother fuckers are all the same. You think that if you make EVERYTHING ILLEGAL you can stop evil people.

Drugs in the U.S. are illegal, and we have never had a worse drug problem.

Unless you can rid the world of evil, laws will never stop evil.

I bet some of you would opt in for living in a bubble in total safety. Never having to worry about the SCARY WORLD. You would be the people to take it in the ass everyday as long as you can feel safe in your weak minds.

Very true

I will throw this in too. He killed what 80 people on that island.

SO that is 80 rounds of ammo. I doubt he got everyone with only on shot. So to be real, it prob took around 4 shots to 1 kill. Now your at 320 rounds of ammo.

If you throw in multiple guns that gets pretty heavy and pretty much B.S.

Ever seen someone carry 300 shotguns shells.

Ever carried 10 thirty round ar 15 mags

What about 7.62

Three 100 round drums sure are not light.

All this ammo and this guy got on an island and went on a rampage for hours. All this gear, weight and he was able to kill tons of people and move like air. No one could find him or stop him.

Just think about it.

Some of you anti-gun people think that guns load themselves and ammo is light as a feather.

No you misunderstand, only in respect to their gun laws.

I definitely didn't mean in any other way

Weren't the Authorities, police and everybody else tending to the bombing at the time?

If many people have guns, somebody just needs to rethink the attack and use automatic rifles, places to hide behind and maybe grenades. All you do with allowing guns is that police need bigger guns, shoot much quicker, and these attacks are done with heavier weapons.

Sorry, but are you all stupid? We are a nation of hunters for starters. Please, just google "Norway guns OR weapons" and learn something about the world you comment on first. Fact is Norway have the highest firearm-ownership per capita in western Europe. (Though I'm not sure how updated that is, and if it still applies, but not much has changed.)


Here's something written with recent events in mind:

please be informed that guns don't kill people but people kill people.

To Lotus Flower, the answer is yes.

"The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good" -- George Washington

In a free society, what happened in Norway couldn't and wouldn't happen. He would have gotten a bullet in his temple long before he killed even a fraction of the 92 he butchered.

If this happened in Canada and some gun club member or farmer hastened off home and got their firearm and shot the guy, they would be the one in prison.

I do not think so. I think Finland beats Norway on this score.

Time and time again history has proven that a well armed general population is able to defend itself from both radical individuals and oppressive governments.

Can any of you read or use Google, for crying out loud. Norway does have strict gun control laws, and it also has a very HIGH rate of gun ownership, mainly by hunters. Sheesh, a little diligence goes a long way.
