one man KILLS 80 people with firearms. How the fuck? Probably wounded over a hundred.

What kind of firepower can do that in this sort of context? Was he shooting fish in barrel? Was he moving? Did anyone try to stop him?

The island is a long time gathering place for young socialists to discuss political things. It wasn't just any ol' camping resort.

as Eraser's said, possibly because he was attacking his real enemy - nazi's hate the 'left' in their own countries before they hate other cultures/races.

why would a british nazi kill a black immigrant when he could kill you instead? the immigrant is just happy to be here, he won't try and change anything and can be dealt with later - you might vote or encourage rationality among your white friends, you might go to demonstrations asking for more political/social freedoms. if some black fellow gets beaten up or killed, do any of you really care? with you wounded or dead, your friends might not be so mouthy. a british nazi can thank his norwegian brother if what's happened over there makes you a little more fearful and a little less likely to show your colours. when fascism next rises up, it won't be foreigners that they go for first - it will be liberals. if you wear a shirt and tie but still have long hair or ethnic jewellery, you'll be up against the wall before the black guy who cleans your office.

regardless of his motives, this cunt's face shouldn't be on the news. so far, it looks like he's a lone nutter - all that reporting these people does is encourage other lunatics to seek suicide-by-cop and media fame.

it's a shame they didn't keep any guns on the island - then it might not have been such a tragedy. even the idea of other guns being on the island would have been enough to make the guy more cautious and maybe keep the body count down.

it's not mental at all. if someone had had a gun, they could have shot the guy before he could notch up such a bodycount. it's what the police would have done if they'd got there in time, so why is it mental if a private citizen does the same thing?

I couldn't agree with you first statement enough, the media is giving him probably exactly what he wanted.

Also indeed, you would have thought the Nords would have guns knocking around for hunting in the wilderness and the like.

maybe it isn't, i don't know the gun laws in norway - that was just the first pro-gun thing than came into my head. for all i know, norwegians are given an assault rifle and a stack of porn when they turn 16 (might be getting them mixed up with the dutch). over here it would be normal not to have weapons on hand, but it would also be difficult for a psycho to get access to multiple firearms. in america, there might've been people carrying pistols that could respond (for good or bad). maybe norway's laws will change to better protect them from spree-killers, but as a result their overall murder/crime rate will rise. how do politicians decide which is better and stay in power?

there is a balance to be struck between trust in the state and the personal capacity to commit tool-using violence - i don't know where that would be. in the uk, we think we have american gun culture (we've certainly picked up their fascination with it) but we're not even allowed to carry knives and we can't keep our driveways clean because decent weedkiller's been banned.
