If one other person had a gun.
 
One crazed madman with a gun and hundreds of unarmed civilians. One has to wonder, if just one other citizen had a gun in Norway, could they have averted the staggering death count?

And I think you will find that if law abiding citizens had guns crime would be lower and we would be safer.

The shooting took place at a youth camp, mainly 15 & 16 year olds.

They must of had a staff of adults there, I'm sure. An armed citizenry, is a polite citizenry.

Your kidding, right? Most of those guys were bad guys killed by other bad guys, just like the gangs that still kill each other today.

These examples are hard to argue with.

I find it interesting that most of the anti-gun group hasn't weighed in on this.

I'm not anti-gun. I think citizens should be able to own guns. But most of the guns that kill people are illegal, unregistered, either stolen or bought on the street. And most criminals walking around with guns do not carry the guns visible in holsters or outside pockets.

I can't say for sure, but maybe some folks getting "gun" thread fatigue.

It's my understanding that the police in Norway do not carry guns when on patrol. This is not a gun centric country.

could that have been a mistake?

chuckinca 07-24-2011 11:39 PM
also, no police were on the island.

the killer had more than one gun; maybe it is a mistake that everyone doesn't carry ten guns just in case.
