@senglord Fine sir,I agree with what you're saying but it's not the point I was attempting to make. I'm saying if an adult was carring a weapon on that island,it's very possible the body count wouldn't have been as high.At least there would have been a chance he could have shot and killed the maniac before 90 innocent children had been murdered. It happens several thousand time a year in the U.S but the media doesn't report it when a good guy with a gun saved someone.

@nerblebun But psychopaths choose to go where they will. The restrictions that exist in Norway prevent the MOST deranged individuals from carrying due to their high probability of going on a rampage like this. While your hypothesis is reasonable, the existing laws would not prevent most of those who want a firearm from getting one. And the fact that this guy can get guns clearly indicates that it is not that restrictive.

@AgentRB540 Liberals and Muslims are good allies in every Country, not just in USA. The Liberal concepts of Liberty, Freedom, Disfavoring Judeo Christian God, Tolerance etc. are very helpful for Muslims to develop, spread and grow in Norway or Europe. Al Quida and the Extremists will loves it. This attack on the Liberals counter operate to promote Liberal Causes which in turn benefits Muslims.

You think it's easy to build accurate home made power bombs of this magnitude out of fertilizers? Nope, the only other successful Big bomb of this kind was made by Timothy Mc Veigh who blew up a building in Oklahoma, but that guy was a former US Army specialist.

This Templar guy must be getting help from Al Quida, an unlikely alliance with the enemy probably without him even knowing the real identity of his ally. This outcome will demonize Right groups and get attention to the muslim cause.

@nerblebun yeah, always need to defend ourselves against human nature. Sad, but in some volatile or predatory individuals that nature can instantly turn inhumanly vicious.

Human nature plays a central role in defending ourselves and our property. A corollary of the Prime Directive to procreate is a mandate to always act, sometimes swiftly, to ensure we and our children remain around to contribute to the future.

A blood chemical test is in order, as well as an assessment of any chronic dissipation from alcohol, painkillers, solitary lifestyle and cable channel subscriptions. His library usage records will also help enlighten the public and a cadre of authors as to just exactly might be changed in the education of privileged young adults.

@senglord The world I want and would wish for is a world without weapons. That wish ,unfortunately, will never be a reality. The reality is....if somone is armed and prepared, they might be able to save an innocent life. It happens every day but the media chooses not to publish the truth.

@hempartist420 You said religion fries the brain. In the context of this case, that implies that religion made him do this. So, since that's what it looked like what you meant, I asked a logical question. How you stated it now makes much more sense. I agree that irrational beliefs are not a good thing to have, but then we have to ask ourselves where the line of believing crosses over into irrational beliefs. To me, these heinous crimes are definitely that point.

@temple400 If you've eve picked up a bible and read it (you won't find it in a history book in school), you would know that God doesn't tell people to go out and commit mass murder like this. That is the choice of the person themselves, whether they twisted what the bible says to justify that choice or not is different from person to person. In this case, so far, all I've seen citing religion as the motive is the media saying as much & they say that a lot, doesn't mean it's true.

@senglord Very well said! At the end of the day, he made the choice to commit these heinous actions; religion didn't make it for him. It seems like people are so willing to blame religion for the acts of people before they are willing to hold the person who committed the act responsible for their actions. Whether we like it or not, there's people in the world who are just evil and have an agenda that includes hurting/killing others. Those people are the problem; not religion.
