Massacre in Norway
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2011-07-26/massacre-norway
The man accused of carrying out mass killings in Norway last week claims he had collaborators. The thirty two year old Norwegian is the alleged perpetrator of a bomb attack in downtown Oslo and a shooting rampage at a summer camp nearby. Eighty six people, many of them children, were killed. Before the attack, the man was known as a right wing extremist. He had ties to other far right groups in Norway and in Europe and espoused a virulent anti-Muslim anti-immigrant ideology. We’ll talk some of the many questions being asked about the man in custody and the possible links to far right radicalism.

Since we'ren the topic of psychos with guns- maybe it's time to start looking at where these psychos gert their guns and how to prevent it!

Would you feel safer if every handgun owner locked their hangun is a gun safe when they leave their home or business?
Because when criminals have a real tough time FINDING and OPENING a heavy duty gun safe- their ability to get a handgun will be greatly diminished -
AND YOU WILL BE SAFER, WETHER YOU FEEL IT OR NOT !.
HEAVY DUTY GUN SAFES ARE NOT BREACHED 99% OF THE TIME BY CRIMINALS. Criminals either give up trying to open the safe or in their futile efforts at getting a handgun they subject themselves to more chances of being caught (especially so since they are unarmed) or in some cases, they actually go out and find a respectable JOB !
Would you like to feel 99% SAFER from being killed or injured by a handgun stolen from a gun safe?
7 innocent people, including a child, would probably be alive today if a handgun, stolen from a Grand Rapids home , had been locked in a HIDDEN SAFE!

Whatt about a federal law requiring that every future purchaser and present owner of a handgun MUST buy and use a federally approved (minimum construction and locking requirements) gun safe!?I If you think that such a law would be ignored by criminals- YOU ARE WRONG and I would be happy to discuss that point with you. Besides, criminals keep their handguns on them at all times-even in bed. Criminals hardly ever have their handguns stolen. so they really don't need a gun safe. Luckly for all of us most criminals do not use their handguns to kill or maim and are not a physical threat to you, a few may use their gun if one doesn't comply with their wishes or attempts to apprehend them. Most use them as a threat.Most armed criminals are eventually caught and dis-armed, then unfortunately some prematurely let back out on the streets.
If you think that the other major way that criminals get their handguns (straw purchases) can not be entirely eliminated, you are wrong and I would be happy to discuss that with you also .
If you believe that a mandatory gun safe purchase law is unconstitutional- we can discuss legal ways to get voluntary massive compliance in buying and using a gun safe.

Criminals constantly get their guns from "law-abiding" citizens who are too much of a cheapskate to buy a gunsafe or alarm system, or have no idea or interest concerning how to secure their guns from theft.
Simple, ENFORCED federal laws, including a requirement to IMMEDIATELY report the theft or loss of a handgun to the authorities (with a heavy fine and/or imprisonment) for failure to do so- is all that is needed. These programs could be easily funded with any fines levied on violators.
The real threat of enforcement is all that is needed to insure compliance on the part of the public. Massive public compliance with any law (including gun storage laws and handgun theft reporting laws) results in fewer crimes and thus less need for taxes to solve crimes and enforce those laws

Your right that the maximum sentence for the killing is 21 years but in cases like this they would also use crimes against humanity which would tack on another 30 yrs. bring it up to 51 and him not getting out until he is 83.
As a side note you might want to recheck your math the killer was 32 not 11. And since he is already 32 year for him to get out when he turns 32 would mean that Norway has invented time travel. Though I suppose that would be good one way to keep crime from happening have the person go back before it happened then have the criminal stop it;)
