> Norway isn't a violent place nor does it have a lot of gun crime but it has a lot of guns Er. Do you know what Anders Breivik did in 2011? You're also shifting straight from 'terrorism' to 'homicide', although they are not the same thing. > none of the law changes that reduced gun ownership in the last 50 years has made any noticeable difference to the correlation. How do you explain this then? http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/561817dbbd86ef195c8b5a7f-1200-900/australia-gun-deaths-bi.png http://static3.businessinsider.com/image/561817dbbd86ef195c8... > There is plenty of automatic weapon use in the UK, there doesn't appear to be serious problems with smuggling guns in Except that I've given several examples where extremely well motivated 'bad guys' were unable to get anything beyond rudimentary home made pistols and were consequently unable to kill large numbers of people.

About 1% of the population are licensed gun owners, mostly for shotguns in rural areas. Hunting for sport is wide spread. Sports target shooters can use shotguns, rifles and long barrelled .22 pistols.
