#enough

I'm assuming they already have maybe 20-25% of the public locked up. But it's about electing Reps who agree with you: lots of them.

No I get the House and Senate laws regarding adding or rescinding an Ammendment, I'm confused about you mentioning needing just one Justice. Wouldnt a majority of the SC be needed to make a ruling on a contested law?

We have pretty strict regulations, own a lot of guns nevertheless, but use them mostly for hunting, not so much for children, we found the breaking wheel to be a more effective teaching instrument.
Until a few years ago, the police didn't wear guns. Then there was a right wing nut who killed and shot 77 people (many of them children), and after that some other right wing nuts are declaring 'heightened threat level' every now and again so as to let the p keep their 'temporary' armament. The p are shooting themselves in the feet and all sorts of other accidents are bound to happen; it would be very easy for a crook to steal a p gun for example.

Civilian guns here are hidden away in secure lockers, separate from the ammunition.
Norwegians are known for not holding their liquor (but they don't let the fact impede their drinking habit) - I'm really glad they don't generally carry firearms. A drunk with a gun is much more dangerous than one with a knife for example, even if the intent might be the same.

In order to own a gun you have to have a legitimate use for it, such as hunting (have to take a course) or sports (have to be a member in a shooting club to own a pistol for instance, since pistols don't have any legitimate uses other than target shooting).

Some statistics:
U.S. citizens own one gun per capita, we own 1/4 gun per capita.
World ranking, the U.S. are no. 1 in how many guns they have per capita, we're no. 11.
About ten times as many per capita are murdered in the U.S.A. as here.

There seems to be a difference in gun culture as well, and significantly we have some sort of welfare and human rights system in place, that may be helping too. Also we don't have death penalty. Nice for the state to set the example that one should not respond to an atrocity with another atrocity.

Norway- 5,000,000+/- population.
1/4 Gun Per capa

United States- 320,000,000 +/- population
1 Gun Per capita.


So by your numbers, Norway is 1/64 the population of the United States with 1/10 of murders.

According to the Quotes above, Not gun murders, just murders.


Theoretically, shouldn’t you have 1/64 considering your population as well as having 75% less guns per capita?

Sounds like y’all have more of an issue by the percentage than the U.S. does.


I wonder why?

Maybe the scale of gun ownership vs. crimes isn’t exactly Linear as some would have us believe?

Or maybe, we are already doing a better job than most everywhere else in the world, & comparing us to other Countries doesn’t work because we aren’t like other Countries.

All the left has to do is flip 1 SCJ to get a ruling in their favor concerning this.

Sorry. You're right. But the current court is almost always split 5-4. Justice Kennedy is really the only unpredictable vote. Basically he would decide. Unless Trump gets to nominate another in the next 3 years.

No, we have 1/10 as many murders per capita.
We have 2.5 times more guns per murder than the U.S.A.

It appears it averages about 1 per 100 000 capita here and 5 per 100 000 capita there, so I could be have been off 2x, but 2015 was a good year apparently.

Maybe that was a bad sentence.
You are probably five times more likely to get murdered in the U.S. than here.

Yes that's it. What was the point about that? We have less than 50 murders per year. In the US there are about 17 000.

Yes, us Norwayers sure can make do with simple tools. Only 10% of the murders here are gunshots. That is about 4 gunshot murders per year.
In the US then, 2/3 of all murders are with guns?

Clearly America ( greatest nation on earth) could teach you Norwayers a thing or two when it comes to senseless killing. The gun is much more efficient than an axe, shovel, reindeer antler, or whatever you fellas use for killing up there in that frozen tundra, hellhole you call home. Sure it’s more expensive, but the time and energy you save is priceless.

I'm sure there was a time when people believed that the slaves would never be freed or that women would never vote or that you would never be able to legally buy marijuana.

I'm certain that if our nation survives long enough we will repeal 2a. Maybe not tomorrow but it is the logical progression, eventually.
