Norway gun laws

I know this horse gets beat alot, but makes you think how many lives could have been saved if there was only 1 armed citizen on that island. For a person to plan such a massacre must be easy. All they have to do is plan their attack and not have to worry about defensive positions. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Now Finland has announced they are in-acting MORE strict gun laws after these events in Norway. Seriously, what is it with this insatiable drive to disarm the public and leave them completely helpless when a bad man comes knocking?

I really don't understand.

Just saw a post in the "politics" section. Sorry if this is out of place, I just don't care to browse the "political" section, too much hate there. Just wanted to share a little info I found interesting.

Very twisted reasoning imo.

Outlaws will always have guns no matter what. (that's why they're called outlaws).

Everytime there is a high profile shooting there is this outcry, I don't get it either.

What is that old saying......if you don't know history it is bound to repeat it's self??????????


1929 - Soviet Union est. Gun Control - 1929-53 approx. 20 million rounded up and exterminated because they were unable to defend themselves.

Yea, but are highly regulated. What guns their government does allow them to own are for hunting and hobby only. They must be locked in a safe and unloaded or have a vital part removed ie. bolt, slide..., and that part locked in a safe. You are not allowed to transport that weapon with out permission and must have a valid reason for doing so. Licensing and psychological evaluations are required to purchase the gun and ammunition. Haven't found an actual list of approved guns, but did find that most , if not all semi-autos(pistols, rifles and shotguns) are banned.
90% of the police don't carry guns!

If I were a politician, which I'm not or never will be simply because I have a conscience, I couldn't live with myself if I was responsible for disarming good people and this happens. People need to wake up and understand that the only person you can count on to protect you and your loved ones is YOU. Not to bash the police officers here, but they can't be everywhere at the same time.

Ive started carrying a hand gun with me sence the Az shotting,you just never know???

Riverside and San Bernardino Counties issue CCW permits. I have had one for 6yrs. There are alot of hoops they make you jump through, but if you're determined and clean, then they'll issue it. It's like dealing with the DMV but worse.

Check out how some Ohio Cops treat law abiding citizens............

Hopefully no one will ever know if I'm carrying or not.

The same can be said for out college campus' that don't allow firearms. They are easy pickings for a deranged person with a gun.

Check out some of the stories that have come out of the UK. You talk about anti-gun and anti-self defense. No way would I live there!!!

Utah law allows for conceal carry on all state campuses and public lands.
What's funny is if you look at the crime stats (from 2009, I haven't looked into it recently) for University of Utah (in SLC), Westminster College (South SL), and BYU (Provo), only the U of U allows for CCW. Of all three, BYU has the highest rate of assault. The U of U has the lowest.
The pervs must be afraid of the gals carrying at the U.
