are people who are not the problems. As I have provided arguments with fact, reason, backed up with peer reviewed science that you have not read any of the links, unless you are Evelyn Wood's best student.
BTW, you are assuming what the gun ownership rate is in urban Norway. I doubt anyone but their government has that. IOW, it is all about ideology and not solving problems. Because, it isn't about actually saving lives, it is about ideological and cultural dominance. That is true with most gun prohibitionists. Either that, or they have the critical thinking skills of young Earth creationists.
If your just obsessed with having a gun, you can have that. It would cut down on gun violence overnight.
No it won't. Remember what I said about open bolt machine guns? What is your obsession about prohibition?
Seriously, there is a world wide ban on heroin, which kills more people than guns in the US, but somehow guns will magically disappear. As I pointed out using the links from Australian media, that isn't how it works. At this point, it doesn't seem that you are actually interested in an honest discussion based on facts, evidence and reason.
I do have to ask is, why would gun laws prevent criminals from getting them when laws against heroin or cocaine and strict regulation of other addictive drugs doesn't prevent 44K deaths a year? Heroin alone killed 14K last year.

I do not consider robust support of the Second right-wing. Nor did JFK, an NRA member.
