Note that gun regulations are actually rather stricter in Norway than in the US. For example, automatic weapons and many high-powered guns are completely banned.
That said, I do believe that the relative safety of Norway is due to other, cultural factors. (I'm Norwegian.)
- vondur 9y agoAutomatic weapons are also banned in the US.
- s_m_t 9y agoSince 1934 automatic weapons were required to be registered with the ATF, in 1986 they stopped registering new ones. You can still get pre 1986 automatic weapons, but you have to pay out the nose for them. I don't think a registered automatic weapon has ever been used in a crime.

- chapill 9y agoI'm pretty sure Mononokay picked Norway specifically to derail discussion with a Breivik/gun control flame war. It only stated an opposite position and then changed the subject. Seems like a bot.
