I would posit that it did exactly what it was intended to do; i.e. to disarm the vast majority of people and create large zones of easy targets so that the government could have a monopoly on power.

The liberal would say that no one should have guns because some nut case might start shooting people, never realizing the ridiculousness of their beliefs.

It worked the way gun control always works. It created a lot of victims in a horrible tragedy. I cannot believe that anyone pushing gun control feels that any other outcome was possible so yes, they got the outcome they knew would happen.

Gun control fails wherever it is installed.

That is a variation of “in the land of the blind, the on-eyed man is king.”

In a land of sheep, the wolf need only have one claw to feed.

A pellet rifle will suffice when the only possible response is spitting...

It is absurd that the security had no weapons it is something that should change but I will bet dollars to donuts that they make it even harder to have a gun now.

Yep, if just a few had been armed, the story might be different.

Regular police there arent even allowed to have guns. Imagine if at least the police were armed. They wouldnt have had to wait 90 minutes for a swat team to show. Utter insanity

The freaking Police don’t even have a Police Zodiac!

No Boats!

They had to drive 20 minutes to the marina and borrow private boats!

They don’t even have a Chopper!

I thought I read that the chopper was grounded due to weather?

Pics seem to show clear weather, but may be from the next day?

Yes, not having a Second Amendment didn’t help.

But not having a FIRST Amendment is what caused the shooting. In a free country, you can organize a Tea Party, call talk radio, etc. to address your issues, like immigration. In fact we stopped Bush TWICE on Amnesty, and then, somehow, stopped the Dems on the Dream Act.

Would never happen in Norway, as they would lock you up the minute you spoke...for being anti-Islamic.

While no one knows if this guy would have flipped in a free country, there is a darn good chance that the political process in what should be a free Norway might have taken care of immigration to the extent where he didn’t have to take it upon himself.

Gun control is itself a failure, of reason among other things. When it doesn’t fail is when one should be the most concerned.

Actually, the labor government is enforcing multiculturalism and are offten paying for mosques to be build across the country, seems they don’t think the meltinpot model is desirable,

When the cops have to fill out paperwork to get guns, yes.

Agree...they know the melting pot will not work...so they want to have parallel cultures (i.e., multiculturalism). Eventually, the ethnic Norweigans will be a minority in their own country...and the problem of IMPERIALISM will have been solved, at least for them. Do it to the rest of Europe, Australia, and North America....and VICTORY AT LAST !!!!

It’s now obvious to most people over there what the end-game is...and hopefully they figure out a way to stop it short of WW3.

Here's the top comment under the video. "OddityDK From Wiki: This is a historical list of countries by firearm-related death-rate per 100,000 population in one year. 5. The US : 15.22 14. Switzerland : 6.4 30. Denmark : 2.6 31. Sweden : 2.36 So no thanks, we don't want citizens to carry guns. Compared to my country (Denmark) there are 6 times as many gun related deaths in the US and more than twice as many in Switzerland. Gun control does not protect the criminals, it protects everyone." Liberalism is a sickness and this person has it bad.
