Ok, thank you.
“This is what happens when Socialist countries start to grab guns. Licensed means confiscation and gun owners are afraid to carry for fear of losing their gun rights.”
Actually, over there, I think “licensed” simply means that you can have a gun in your house (which is also true, I think, in a few very left-wing areas of the US). Forget about concealed carry.
There is also this:
"I am a 44-kosovo-albansk årig åbnede mand i dag flere fremmed ild mod i et indkøbscenter i Finland og dræbte fire."
That's from google translateion. I have no idea what did not get translated.

Statistically, there's a 4 in 5 chance the perp is a muzzie.
6th victim
possibly shooter
Kind of looks like DeNiro as Travis Bickle in “Taxi Driver”.
“He was born in 1966 and lived in Finland for a longer period of time”
Huummmm, I wonder how he managed that feat?
*ping*
That's what you meant, right?
Then there's the language thing ~ did you see how that stuff translates on the computer translation systems ~ wow ~ you still need a dictionary to break it down.
No doubt this forces the Russians to keep a cadre of Finnish language specialists on standby "just in case".
Strong rumour
“My sources tell me that Ibrahim Shkupolli is a UCK veteran, for those of you who don’t know what UCK is, UCK = Kosovo Liberation Army. He killed 32 serbian civilians in Qela 1997.”
