Thanks again. To be equated with The Philosopher is too much, but thanks anyway.

I don’t think help was needed. There were enough bullets being fired at the WAFI without my contribution. I did read all and “liked” some of the posts though.
Man, be careful what you wish for. You think we’re underexposed to him?

Let them Norwegians live in peace. There are a lot of other things to fight for…
Who say we don’t have “freedom” in Norway? Hunting season for deers, elk, reindeers and all kinds of small game is on us and the hunters are stocking up.
Here from a gun shop with a good collection of hunting weapons on display:
No semi-automatic or pistols on display though.
Did they wear out all their rifles from last year? 
Maybe not in one year, but hunters likely feel they need (or just WANT) a new and better weapon from time to time?
Others may be like my oldest son, who has newly completed the mandatory hunter training course and got is hunter’s license.
He even had to go through a weapon handling and safety course, although he has been a professional soldier for over 15 years. He is even a trained sniper.
My uncle was the only serious hunter in the family. I think he had a 30.06, a 30-30, and some sort of varmint gun; plus a shotgun or two. I grew up with a Quackenbush folding .22, a 12-ga BSA double, and a Burnside breech-loading carbine from the Civil War that nobody in my generation ever fired. Handsome piece, well regarded by the people that carried it.
I respect a place that stacks their AR’s from match grade barrels down to SBR’s.
I prefer our kind of freedom.
That’s shameful my wife has a bigger and better selection of guns than that.

I have a Dutch friend who jokingly says he wants to open a store in the US that would cater to the 3 basics of American life. He would call it BEER GAS AND GUNS.

I have had and still HAVE the freedom to NOT carry a gun. I much prefer that to having to curry a gun to protect myself from lunatics WITH guns.
I hear that throwing Frikadeller meat balls is quite effective at scaring away lunatics with heavy caliber weapons.
Maybe as effective as any other methods. A better method is having no lunatic with weapons.
Before you mention Breivik; he is in jail and a “one-off”. How many have you had so far this year??
The lunatic with the gun would end up shooting himself after a few minutes of verbally tangling with ombugge. duh!

Yes I have had the “privilege” of carrying a gun. As a PO in the Norwegian Navy. I was also required to fire a certain number of rounds per quarter, but I let the Gunner do that for me, against cleaning the gun.
How to protect myself a lunatic?? Call 112. The lunatic is not likely to carry a gun either.
Let me ask you how your theory work; If you carry a gun for protection then you would be able to shoot anybody with a gun that threatened you before he shot you, right??
If that was the case then, in you ideal world of EVERYBODY carrying guns, there would soon not be any crooks with guns alive, right??
Just wondering how many of you guys have actually ever used your guns to defend yourselves. I asked this once on a US boating website and it seems like very few actually had.

“Privilege”, “right to”, “required to”, it’s all the same to me.
I don’t WANT to, whether because I have RIGHT to, or not.
Most people in the world prefer NOT to feel they have to carry a gun to protect themselves at all.
If you feel that having the right to carry a gun is FREEDOM, then you have your freedom and we will enjoy our freedom and security, where we can feel free to live our lives without guns.
You never answered my direct question about how it can be that if every law abiding person carry a gun they will be able to always shoot first and hit ?
I can imagine a Theater full of people carrying guns and somebody let off a fire cracker.
I didn’t say it was the same in language, but it is the same to me whether I have the privilege, rigth, or are required to carry a gun. I still don’t want to feel I have to.
My English is second language, but I’m fairly familiar with it. How’s your second language??
Aggre, let’s move on.
