In Norway, firearm ownership is prohibited unless one can exhibit specific legal requirements for possession.
Norway has a population of 5.1mm.
Anders Breivik murdered 77 people.
The US has a population of 321mm.
The scum in Charleston, Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech and Aurora, CO collectively murdered 80 people.
To equal Breivik's level of violence proportionally, they would have to have had 4,822 victims.
Not 80.
The USA is demonstrably safer with our current laws than Norway is with its.
Another germane point to be made about Breivik is that in addition to the shootings he also set off a car bomb that killed 9 and wounded 200. Even in a fantasy land where firearms are gone murderers will still be able to murder in mass if they are determined.
As a matter of fact I would think a car bomb would be harder to stop than an active shooter which is why the terrorists like them so much.
Right, in reference to Norway, In Svalbard they are required to have firearms because they live near Polar Bears and other wild animals. But they have the need to protect themselves.
Amazing that all of Europe and so many other countires, Australia(which surprises me) all prohibited firearms use.
