How's that gun control working for you Norway? I thought banning guns took them out of the hands of criminals and the insane.
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
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.
