The massacre that took place in Norway is totally unfathomable.\u00a0\u00a0 Not only did the killing spree go on for hours, the police were slow to respond.<\/p>\n

But, more to the point, the police in Norway are not allowed to carry guns.\u00a0 In fact, the police need a special permit in order to carry a gun.\u00a0 So, if the police are not equipped to deal with violent crimes, then who is?\u00a0 Or does Norway believe that there will be no violent crimes in their country?<\/p>\n
