Comments on Norway from another friend in the UK:
"Your friend from Norway shouldn't hold his breath. The 'Minister' (bureaucrat) responsible for police will doubtless announce yet another review,' and then the whole affair will die a quiet death, unlike the officer involved. It's the regular story here in England.
Two months ago, a van full of police officers in London were sprayed SMG fire. Miraculously, only one officer was slightly injured. The rest surviv ed, so they obviously don't need firearms to protect themselves. The Home Office has, of course, announced yet another dreary 'review' of the need to arm police.' We've seen a thousand such 'reviews.' The conclusion is w ell known, in advance, by all of us.
There is a correlation between a society's view on the right of an individua l to protect himself and his family and that same society's willingness to use force to protect itself and its borders. In short, if a government can convince its population that they have NO right to protect themselves at hom e, then that same government is going to resist using force to protect them collectively, since, after all, the population is made up of individuals de emed not worth protecting. The antigun movement is thus responsible for the international apathy we see played out today."
Comment: Huns, Goths, Vandals, and other solid, European stock from whom we've descended are rolling over in their graves! What ever happened to the mighty warriors we once were? Moors have, again, sensed Europe's impotence. Europeans are in far more peril than they are prepared to confront.
