re my gun is like my american express card i hate long postings but this turned out to be rather lengthy overall crime rate it fell just like that acquiring weapons in norway you can buy almost all kinds of weapons in norway but you must have a permit and a good reason to get the permit if i would like to have a handgun i would have to get an gun licence from the police and to be a member of a gun club the police would check my criminal records for any serious crimes and or records of serious mental diseases now if a got my licence i would have to be an active member of the gun club for months before i could collect my gun it s a little like getting a drivers licence isn t it you have to prove that you can drive before you are allowed to use of guns in crimes in norway some crimes are commited with guns that have been in the owners arms for a long time but these are rather the exeption most criminals accuire guns to use them in crimes and mostly short time befor the crime use of knives it is allowed to cary knifes in public but not in your belt or open you americans think it s ok to have a gun but not to carry it open in public rigth scandinavians are aggressive we northeners are not as hot livered as southeners but when we decide to take action we do ask any historian or millitary with an knowledge of europe or ask any german who served in norway in ww individual vs masses yes the individual is more important than the masses but only to some extent your criminal laws are to protect the individuals who makes the masses what happens when the rigths of some individuals affects the rights of all the others the issue i believe the issue is guns and gun legislation we shouldn t mix weapons and items that can serve as one if i lived in amerika i would probably have a gun to defend myselfe in home but should it have to be like that do you think it s wise to sell guns like candy some states do if you believe it s smart neccacery to have drivers licence why do you think it should be free to buy guns disclaim her i m not a pacifist or anti gun i would defend my home loved ones and country but i don t view guns as neccities or toys i have done army service and have used a variaty of weapons but wouldn t want to have one for self defence or because they feel good this is not a signature it s marly a computergenerated text to waste bandwith and to bring down the evil internet thomas parsli thomasp ifi uio no
