Reply #166: guess I'll have to start keeping copies of everything I post

Meanwhile a guy shoots 80+ people with an illegal machine gun bypassing all gun laws, but the law abiding citizens did not break the law, they did not carry a gun onto the island and you can see the results.

You assert that the mass murder is the RESULT of people not carrying guns onto the island.

Is there an institution of higher learning where you are?

Does it offer courses in elementary logic?

Allow me to recommend that you enquire.

Do you have any reason to believe that IF Norwegian law permitted people to promenade around with pistols, ANYONE ON THE ISLAND WOULD HAVE BEEN DOING SO?

There is in fact very good reason to believe that NO ONE WOULD HAVE BEEN DOING SO, since Norwegians pride themselves on their open society and do not appear to have evinced any interest in behaving like you.

Norway is a democracy. Norwegian firearms laws have been enacted by democratically elected governments.

I'm sure Norwegians are very interested in your analysis of their tragedy. Have you made some attempt to let them know where they have gone wrong? I hope so; wouldn't like to think you're keeping all that wisdom to yourself!
