Guns don't kill people... Two year olds in the Wal-Mart do! Another senseless death.

You ignore two year olds shooting their mothers, you ignore 20 dead six year olds torn apart by 5.56mm fire, etc etc etc. I get it...none of it matters to you. But, some of us think that maybe something ought to be done. Originally Posted by timpage

So...How about this statistic (and fact) some countries like Norway, Switzerland, and Israel REQUIRE assault rifle ownership. That's right, they have more firepower per household than the US but they have statistically fewer gun deaths....hmmm. That kind of flies in the face of your prediction doesn't it. Maybe something else is to blame other than the availability of firearms.....maybe training....or attitude.

"Interest in gun ownership is waning, partly due to the shrinking size of the conscripted militia that serves as Switzerland's army. Men between the ages of 20 and 30 report for training and are issued military weapons, which they keep at home."

source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_pol...in_Switzerland

"When their period of service has ended, militiamen have the choice of keeping their personal weapon and other selected items of their equipment. However, keeping the weapon after end of service requires a license."

"In 2005 almost 29% of households in Switzerland contained firearms of some kind, compared to almost 43% in the US."

Also wrong on Norway. Absolutely nothing found on a requirement to own an assault rifle. If you have any reliable source of information that states otherwise, please cite it.

source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Norway

"Norway has a large population of hunters.[3] Semi-automatic and bolt action rifles, as well as shotguns, make up the better part of the guns in civilian homes. There is a total ban on automatic weapons for civilians, unless they fall into the collector category. Modification of semi-automatic guns into fully automatic without the consent of the police is a felony crime."

source: http://blogs.wsj.com/law/2014/11/18/...rity-minister/
"In Israel, carrying a gun is not a right granted by the constitution, but rather a privilege given to those few who pass background checks and who can demonstrate a real need for possessing firearms.


The list of requirements is long. Israelis seeking to own a gun need to be a citizen or permanent resident over the age of 27 (or 21 for those who have completed military service). They must have a basic knowledge of Hebrew. Applicants for a gun permit also need to show a clean criminal record and to have the Ministry of Health certify that they are physically and mentally capable of using a gun."

The explanation is obvious. JDIdiot made it all up.

He'll post a reply saying he was seeing how many of us he could fool and that it was all part of his master strategy.

'There is a compound assertion that guns are uniquely available in the United States compared with other modern developed nations, which is why the United States has by far the highest murder rate.

BTW, speedy, there are about 56,000 of these in Norwegian homes:

My favorite part of the story was the father-in-law coming out and saying that she was "a very responsible gun owner".
For some reason, I beg to differ.

there is no law in Norway requiring citizens own any kind of firearm.

Are you saying there is, IbIdiot?

And where do you get the figure of 56,000 of "those" in Norwegian homes?

Not at all. You were posing a bullshit rhetorical argument. For a change, you were being dishonest.

And off topic... Unless you're writing about the two year old marksmen at the Wal-Mart in Oslo!
