His guns were legal. Banning guns has nothing to do with this.

"Many facts are still unknown, but at this point it appears that a key ingredient in the tragedy was the fact that the killer had the only gun on the island. It is, really, one of the ultimate horror scenarios: hundreds of kids, accompanied by a relative handful of adults, isolated on an island with a crazed killer. The outcome might have been very different if some of those adults had been armed."-John Hinderaker
Giving people more tools to kill each other is not a solution to the problem at hand.

The maximum sentence in Norway is 21 years. I do not think that is enough.
After 21 years he'll get a new trial, and get another 21 years. This will continue his entire life.
I find myself approving of that punishment.

This is truly horrifying... My thoughts go out to the victims and their families. I hope they allow executions in Norway for this guy and anyone else involved deserve nothing less.
They deserve no less than to rot in jail for the rest of their (hopefully long) lives, so they will have time to think through what they have done. Death is too quick and painless.

wow. Ok, THAT'S pretty fucked up. Well, I guess it's kinda a therapeutic system that really does seek to re-integrate the convicts (unlike every other penal system that just reinforces certain negative behaviours), and from the bit at the end it seems to work but shiiiit - it goes against all the expectations of punishment for serious crimes that we expect!

be aware that Bastøy prison, which is being displayed in that video, is strictly only for those prisoners who show exemplary conduct and are judged to be fairly safe to attempt to reintegrate into society.
If they do anything to pull their eligibility for being reintegrated into society into question, they are put back in a regular prison.
At least that's what I've heard.

Well hopefully that prison is used for the cases that people feel can be forgiven and the prisoners that are actually repentant. By contrast, if this guy was truly repentant, he'd kill himself.

Especially when the logic works just as well the other way. "The outcome might have been different if no one was armed".

Although hopefully this will make people think. Next time they condemn Islam as a dirty violent evil religion (not forgetting the communism and rejection of apple pie), they might remember that Christians and right-wingers do the exact same things.

Just remember how quickly people, including me, pinned the whole thing on AL Qaeda and such.

Thanks for that.

Pity that prayers are free and that they dont mean shit. Other than "I'm on your side, at least publically". No offence, but the only way we can change thing is with some actual consequences. Prayers are good for nothing.
I know that I can't actually change things with my prayers but I want to pray whenever I can't do anything else. Anyway, no offence taken.

There is literally no violent political groups in Norway as far as I know, so the guy was a lone nutjob.

Violence committed by neo-nazies and right-wing nuts is AFAIK very low here, until now. Besides, the shooter was a norwegian nationalis, so there is most likely no connetction to an assassination attempt in the US.
Skjalg Kreutzer said:
There isn't any. We don't have radical, militant organisations or groups in our country. Or if we do, they are not vocal or serious enough to be heard by the public.
Norway isn't like the US. We're a small, peaceful and innocent nation. Nobody here could ever have dreamed of something like this.
Ah. Not living in Norway, and having no understanding of the discourse that happens within the Norwegian public sphere, I have no knowledge of how virulent they can get. I know that, in Australia, while we don't have public officals making death threats against their opponents, discussion about issues such as immirgration and climate change can get, well, heated. Not Amercian, hell-fire heated but enought to singe the hair on your arms if you get too close.

But what if one of those armed adults went crazy? We'd better give more people some guns to protect us from those guys...then what if they go crazy? Quick! Handguns for everyone! Think of the children! We need a situation where anyone can blow away anyone else away at any time, that'll stop anyone from killing anyone ever again, just like the US were no one is ever killed!

The difference between gun killings in countries with strict gun control measures is that they will happen very infrequently but be more severe as opposed to a steady drip drip every day.

Anyway, I feel dirty at having risen to the bait to turn this into a gun control argument.
I don't think it's the appropriate place for this argument but, at least the security guards at the Youth Camp should have had the means to protect these people, hell, I wonder if a scope rifle with tranquilizers would have been enough to put Mr. Bad Guy down.

It's the worst thing that happened in Norway since WW2. It's really big for them there, my condolences to the family of the people who died.

Apparently this guy bought 6 tons of fertilizer. Now, unless you're planning to work in some kind of major greenhouse project, this guy was just out for maximum destruction. Six tons! I hate to think about what kind of damage this guy could've done if all six tons were used in one attack.

Unreal, man.

Well, I heard he had founded a company called Geofram which was supposedly working in farming of some sort.
Might have been created for the sole purpose of evading suspicion while he bought fertilizer.

Oh, and by the way: If you decide to google Geofram and Anders Behring, be advised that the top hits are from a site called "bestgore".
Really not safe for work. I don't even think it's legal.

All six tons probably were used, you don't just set fire to a pile of fertilizer and call that a bomb. You distill the silver nitrate from it over a few weeks/months, and then use that to make a bomb... I'm pretty sure you could do the same with bleach.

I cried last night, and I've been crying all day for the insane inhumanity and evil that has occurred. Over 91 innocent lives, 84 of them were just youths, because of one extremely evil man. I've cried for my fellow Norwegian youths, and everyone who feels touched.

Dear people of Norway and the world,
never forget the 22nd of July 2011,
never forgive.
