(18,318 posts)I don't know the reasons for this affirmative action on the Norwegians' part. I shouldn't have to speculate.
The greatest positive effect on changing behavior regards DWI & smoking ceassation, IMO, is the massive education campaign without the implementation of criminal law. Only in the last 10 yrs or so have the prohibitionists muscled in to take charge or credit using complex, expensive and counter-productive banning schemes.
I am glad to see you support such a public ed plan. The greatest opposition to such, I believe, will be from MSM which must maintain a wholly negative image of gun owners, and might very well oppose such a campaign. By far, this would be the most cost-effective and fastest means of lowering both childhood gun-accident rates and gun theft.
