Failure of Norway Gun Laws Panicking Anti-Gun Groups :: 07/31/2011
Truth be told, the Norway spree-killing has upended the anti-gun apple cart at the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. As in the Giffords' atrocity in Arizona, the common sense reaction to Anders Breivik's outrage is both simple and visceral: "if only someone had a gun to shoot the bastard before he shot all those kids."
Not to be outdone by logic and common sense, outgoing Brady Campaign leader Dennis Henigan tries to explain that cowardly acts like this mass shooting should NOT cause us to reexamine the futility of 'Gun Control' as a concept.Take Henigan's first quote below:
Norway has a restrictive gun licensing system , with a requirement that a prospective gun owner provide a written statement justifying why he or she wants one and stiff restrictions on how guns are stored. The fact that one gunman, driven by violent fanaticism, was able to get a gun to commit mass murder no more justifies weakening Norway's gun laws than it justifies weakening its law against murder itself. No law is a guarantee against the evil it was passed to prevent.
What Henigan does NOT consider is the distinct possibility that 'Gun Control Laws' may actually cultivate killers to kill with impunity!Never forget their own mantra, "IF it saves ONE life" but Henigan and the rest NEVER consider what happens if what they recommend "COST ONE LIFE".
Anti-Gunner Henigan continues his frothing at the mouth over the failure of Norway Gun Laws to stop mass shooting there:
There are some in the American "gun rights" community who will no doubt use this shooting to assert that Norway's strong gun laws don't work, or to support the National Rifle Association's campaign to make it easier for Americans to carry loaded guns on the streets, and into restaurants, coffee houses, bars, college campuses and other public places. Does this mass shooting in Norway suggest that Western Europe's restrictive gun regulations are futile, while America's practically non-existent gun regulations make us safer?
