As I mentioned,
here is CNN's take on the incident, already calling for more gun control. It really makes me mad when people take advantage of a tragedy to push their political objectives.
<sarcasm>Really? Automatic weapons are increasingly available? Please tell me where so i can get one too. </sarcasm>
The increasing availability of automatic weapons makes mass killing easier, even by a single individual....firearms are increasingly a weapon of choice for terrorists; reasonable restrictions on the sale and distribution of automatic weapons make sense
i read that Norway have strict gun laws. What use those laws came to; a criminal with intention to kill will most probably find his way. What these laws cannot provide is defense to law abiding citizens. Surely if a permit holder was among the 700, these lives could have been saved or at least the damage would have been much less.
All these laws have done is make their citizens unable to protect themselves. Apparently Norway doesn't issue CCW licences.
I Think it is the fault of security force & police....
How can a man kill 80 people with his gun...
It took the police 90 minutes to respond to the shooting incident.

I would like to quote the
post of one "IA Farmboy" on gunrightsmedia.com
He summed up what a lot of people think:
What lesson is there to learn? I propose the lesson is that there is evil in this world and, as hard as we may try, we cannot legislate it away. I believe that the more people that realize this the easier it will be to reach a free society. I'm not saying we can achieve perfection but by respecting the liberties of the individual we can achieve a more perfect community, establish justice, ensure tranquility, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our descendents. I read something like that somewhere, just not sure where.
The more restrictions we place on personal liberty the more the thugs and governments in this world can take advantage of this and cause us greater harm. Taken to an extreme the distinction between the thugs and the government becomes irrelevant. This person (or group) was allowed to produce such death and destruction precisely because the government had little respect for the lives of the individual. The thug, sharing this disrespect for life, liberty, and property, took advantage of this.
“Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never – in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense” — Winston Churchill, Oct 29, 1941
