Carnage on a Norweigan Island

[marbleheadmaui]

Let me see now, 700 kids of the politically prominent and NOBODY has a gun to protect them? This loon spent TWO HOURS hunting down and killing these kids.

ONE good man with a gun saves what? 75 lives?

A gun was the problem here and specialist police should have moved in way quicker from the sounds of things.

A gun is a tool. The MAN is the problem. Heck this guy used a bomb too!

A gun is a tool designed to kill. If everybody was reasonable in a society, it would't be a problem. However, most humans are not.... another part who's reasonable becomes idiot under the influence of drugs and alcohol and another reasonable part are potentially weak willed and can snaps at any moment. In that kind of circumstances, you have to think mass psychology and in a logic of mass psychology, letting people get military type of guns so easy is like dropping a whole bag of candy on a table in front of a class, telling them to only eat/take one and turn them your back. Doesn't work.

See that point of view applies to cars, boxcutters, baseball bats, knives, tire-irons and everything else that can POSSIBLY be used as a weapon.

What do you think could be an answer then?

Sorry, the answer to what question?

Noquestion, the answer to the problem of fuck wits with guns.

Fuckwits are a problem in a free society. They are a problem with guns, knives, cars, clubs, booze, drugs etc.

They are fuckwits and cannot be accounted for if a free society is to remain free.

Unless you want to invoke the old Texas legal defense "He needed killing."
