Countries that have few guns have few mass murders with guns or none at all/.

We should take a poll on where the NEXT mass shooting will take place!


No, on a per capata basis we shall never catch up to Norway.

I don't think math is an issue you want to be referencing, since you keep ignoring the factual number of people's lives saved with the use of a gun......FAR more than those taken by one

That is nothing but bullshit.

The odds are very much against some mythical "good guy with a gun" preventing yet another of the idiotic monthly massacres for whichj this country is famous.

It's called FACT...deal with it.  Nothing mythical about it.  More people in this country are SAVED with the use of a gun, than those taken.....PERIOD

A list of what?  It's simply a factual statement.....like the sun rises in the east.  You can stomp up and down until you're blue in the face.  Ignoring the facts, won't make the facts any less factual, or prevent the sun from rising

  Do you define "percapata" differently than I do?

So what is the per capita murder rate in the US for gun nut murders?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Norway_attacks
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/no.html

77 victims/Population:  5,100,000 

That is about one in 66,000

in a single instance!

The US hasn't had an instance this bad ever, unless you count the Civil War as an instance.

We are never going to have a year as bad as this one event made it for Norway.

Can't handle Plane's #'s or simple math?  And I'd recommend refraining from calling him names.  He actually has far more patience and respect for your commentary than most everyone else does.....combined

If you aren't willing to make the comparison on a per capata  basis , how do you make it make sense?

The experience of Norway is that the determined killer can get what he wants for a weapon , if he has to cross national borders , this only delays him a bit.

I think only the spur of the moment killer can possibly be inconvenienced by any law. This may be worth doing , but eliminating easy targets would do more and would work against the careful planner also.

Good thing more lives are saved with the gun than gun nuts who kill using one.  At least in this country
